Remote host not showing up

[hensleigh]

We are still running Filemaker Server 7 on a Windows server. Over the weekend, something happened to cause the remote host to disappear from the open remote file dialog box. The files are still accessible using Open Recent under the File menu or when using a launch file. Filemaker Server Admin still connects to the server and I can open and close databases without a problem

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All files? Are the Sharing Options set to show in Open Remote?

Have you restarted the server?

[hensleigh]

Yes on both counts. Sharing is turned on and we have restarted the server. As I said, the files are running and are openable using other means, the main problem seems to be that the server does not show up in the remote host list.

Check the Application and System logs on the Windows server, starting with the weekend.

Is the server on the same subnet as the workstations?

How's it being hosted? Was there an update that may have disabled Bonjour or blocked port 5353?
