Compatibility with Novell?

[selikoff]

Are there any compatibility issues between Filemaker Server and a Novell network? We're considering purchasing Filemaker for the entire office, but want to make sure it will work before we invest all that money.

Thanks!

Filemaker Server only works with TCP/IP and Appletalk protocols, so make sure that you are running TCP/IP as your network protocol. Typcially Novell nets are running IPX only.

FileMaker can run on IPX/SPX protocol as well.

However, TCP/IP is better.

Hopefully I will check Server tomorrow.

On my NT server FM can serve data on networks:

1. TCP/IP

2. IPX
