Can't access hosted files from iPad, but CAN from iPhone. Ideas?

Updated version of Filemaker Go on both devices. FM Server Version 11.0.2.217.

Everything working fine on the iPhone. Filemaker Go in the iPad shows no databases available.

Would be very grateful for any ideas. Thank you.

There could be a bunch of things. I've noticed that iOS systems tend to be very selfish on IPs. You could have an IP issue. I assume you triple checked your connection settings in Go right?

You might want to restart your iPad.

Is your iPad a 3G or wifi?

Thanks for the reply. iPad is 3G. It connects fine to the hosted databases when on the local wireless network, but says (no files available) when on 3G. Tried both the domain name and IP address of the host machine, no luck with either (both work with iPhone 4 on 3G). I did restart the iPad. I'm going to fiddle with it some more, one more thing that's odd is that there's almost zero "waiting for response" time, it goes immediately to (no files available) which makes it sound like a connectivity thing.

It just started working out of the blue, I think the iPad was lying about the quality of the 3G signal. Thank again for the suggestion.
