Database hosting & Win2000 login IDs

[ssillett]

I am hosting a set of databases via FileMaker 5 on a Win2000 box. The databases are set up to share via TCP/IP. Sharing works great when I log into the computer with my Admin password. However, this server is also used as a workstation by technicians in my lab, and they log in with their own non-Admin passwords. When the technicians are logged in, the FileMaker databases do not appear to other clients on our network. I set Win2000 security permissions for the database directory to "full control" for all users, but this did not solve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott Sillett

Using a FM Server box also as a workstation is a definite NO NO! Use a dedicated machine.

What version of Windows 2000 are you using? Under what permissions level was the FM Server installed?

Also, the server CPU should not be used as a workstation.
