Hi Tami,
There are a few reasons for this to occur. You can test a couple more
thing to be sure.
First, using the IP address of the server, can you connect to the
FileMaker Server? By chance is your server Windows based? Then you
might need to restart the server. Sometimes the domain stops
broadcasting. I don't know the specific reason, but in my experience
the only way I could get it back up was to restart.
The other thing you could test is the network connectivity of the
client station that can't see the server. Are there other services
missing from it's view?

Thanks in advance for the the help.
Here's the problem.
Using Filemaker 7, open remote, was able to connect to a remote
server and see and open databases.
Then one day it stopped working. As it yesterday it worked, and
today it doesn't.
When you connect to the remote server - nothing happens, no databases show.
Tried using FileMaker 8.5 open remote - still can't see any
databases on that remote server.
NOTE - in same office using another machine and FileMaker 7, open
remote still works - CAN see and open databases from the remote
server.
The same version of the OS and FileMaker is running on both machines.
The machines are the same - except with one you can connect to the
remote server and with the other you can't.
What causes this? How can I fix it?
This latest issues has come up in an office with all PCs running
Windows (same version of Windows and FileMaker), but I've had it
happen on a machine running OS X as well.
