Host could not be found on the network

[Guest]

I have the same problem!! And stop saying that we did'nt configure it the right way. Our group is using my database for a long time in sharing and I never had problems (except for when FileMaker crashes for no reason). This time, a user was online as the Host, but a network problem arise and the connection was lost. Since then, everybody can use it as multi-user except for that person. We tried to uninstall and reinstall, without success. I realize that the problem was more important when that person logged on my computer and coud'nt open it! Many people are using the same password for the database, so the password is not the problem. The problem is with her log on in windows 2000. As soon as she log on, FileMaker recognize her and say that she's lost! How can I fix that! I don't think I have to pay for assistance, because a software that is design to work with networks should be able to deal with such problems as connection loss.

Fortunately, data was not corrupted, but it become very unpleasant to live with that situation.

Thanks for help, especially from FileMaker moderator, and sorry for the mistakes, English is obviously not my first language.
