The problem is I cannot turn on File sharing on a Filemaker file
even with Filemaker Server off. I also can't turn on IWP. I cannot
connect to the Filemaker file remotely when Fm Server is running. I
want another user from another IP address to connect to the file which
I assume doesn't have to be on the same network? Do you have to know
the IP address of the remote user before they log in to the file or is
authentication via login and pw enough?

In any case, I thought this might be a problem because I didn't run
the updaters. I downloaded the server update to version 9.02 and
the update for version 9.03. I try the 9.02 updater. Even with
Server off it says you have to turn Filemaker Server off before doing
the update but Filemaker Server is not on. This is on a Mac running
Tiger. Is there a plist file or preference file I can remove to get
the installer to work? I want to do Filemaker 2 updater before I do
version 3 updater. I read on FM web site that there is a problem
getting IWP to work on Tiger. The instructions are hard to understand
but it says that you need the full version of 9.03 not the updater to
get IWP to work. Is that correct? I don't have the full version of
9.03. If I do get the updater 9.02 to work then 9.03 then at the
least I would like remote networking to work but I would also like IWP
to work. I will reinstall the server but I would like to know what is
the problem because I don't want to reinstall the server and find the
problem is with the OS or something else.

I have all the OS updates to Tiger installed. i have another hard
drive on the same computer with Leopard but i don't want to install
FMSA on Leopard since I have a PHP MySQL server running on it and I
want them separated. I suppose I could install Leopard on the Tiger
drive if I need to but this is turning out to be really complicated
for just demonstrating a file.
Thanks,
Janis
