Unable to connect to server

[shazaddin]

Hello, 

 

I know this topic has been discussed. I read the whole of that topic and my issue still not resolved. 

 

I downloaded the latest fmeasysync file. 

 

I have enabled the networking sharing on the hosted file. 

 

I have add the following external sources to the mobile file:

fmnet:/*/FM_Surveys_Hosted

filewin:/C:/EasySync/FM_Surveys_Hosted

 

I can see the hosted file from the ipad, i can even open it and use it. 

 

I have not made any changes at all to the demo files. I am simply trying to get the demo working. Can someone please help me with this.  I have been battling with this for hours now. 

 

Thanks.

Wrong file path. Format is

File:filename

Or

Fmnet:/hostipaddress/filename

You cannot use * in the path

Hello,

 

Thanks for your reply. I resorted to the * after trying the ip address. This is the external source that i set on the FM_Surveys_Mobile file.

 

fmnet:/192.168.0.22/FM_Surveys_Hosted

 

I get exactly the same issue "Unable to connect to server".

 

I have diabled the firewall on my computer, i have added filemaker pro 13 into the inbound rules for the firewalls.

 

No matter what i try i get this error. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hello

I think I worked out my problem my hosted file is in file maker pro 13 and not filemaker server. I have raised a separate question around whether you can host a file in file maker pro 12.

Thanks
