PORT 5003 & FM Server

[andrew.r]

Good Morning

We have just installed FM Server and when accessing our database within our Firewall it's a very fine thing!!!

However we want remote access for our teachers from home and FM tells me I need to do something to Port 5003... manuualy unblock it or some such thing... essentially at the moment when online at home through remote access, FM can't find the host file when you click on "Locate Specific host" and input the IP address

Thanks...

If using network address translation:

For FMP 5.5 and Server 5.5 Port 5003 must be open for TCP. It can be open or closed for UDP. In FMP 5, it must be open for TCP and closed for UDP.
