FM Connection Assistant Breaks w/ 5.0v5

[Kingston]

Has anyone else noticed that the Home Page FileMaker Connection Assistant won't work with Web Companion 5.0v5? After installing the Web Companion 5.0v5, FileMaker always returns the message "FM Server is not responding at this address" when trying to connect. With everything else the same it worked fine with 5.0v3. I've tried it on Windows 95 and 2000. I will go back and see if it works with Web Companion 5.0v4.

An update to this problem. The HomePage FileMaker Connection Assistant does still work fine with Web Companion 5.0v4. It only breaks with 5.0v5.

FileMaker Inc. has acknowledged the problem with the Connection Assistant and Web Companion 5.0v5. They have posted a notice at <http://www.filemaker.com/support/webcompanion.html>. Hopefully an updater will be out soon to fix this problem. Although HomePage is rather outdated and probably becoming a dead product, I do find the FileMaker Connection Assistant to be big time saver for creating base pages for Custom Web Publishing.
