Wired problem hosting Filemaker DB behinde router/firewall

I ran into a wird problem.

I Have a Fmp 5.0 Unlimited hosting a native fmp 5.0 DB (created by FMP 5 Unlimited) on the backside off a router/firewall,(filtring all, exept port 21, 80, 5003) with some nating.

I found this info in the FMP 5.5 help file under "firewall"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

" FileMaker Pro shows only the databases hosted on your local TCP/IP subnet. To open a database on a different TCP/IP subnet, in the Hosts dialog box, click Specify Host and enter the host computer's IP address or domain name.

? If the guest is outside your LAN's firewall, blocking must be removed from port number 5003 by your network administrator. (FileMaker Pro uses TCP port number 5003 to share databases.)

My Question is why can I connect to the DB with FMP 5.5, but not FMP 5.0.

Any clue is welcome.

T.I.A.

I am connecting the 5 OK

I believe you need to block port 5003 for UDP but pass TCP. This conflicts with what FM say but there you go. This changed between versions 4 and 5.

Cheers,

Steve
