OK, this is an odd one. Normally I have no problems at all with FileMaker networking. Just shout the superhero motto "Sharing ON, Captain Video", click "All Users" next to each file to be shared, and *presto* they all show up in the "Open Remote" dialog box on every other computer on the network.

Except today, at a new client's site, it didn't work. The guest computers could see the listing for the host computer itself just fine in the left-hand pane, but there were no files listed in the right-hand pane. (They DID show up when I did an "Open Remote" from the HOST computer.) Relaunching FMP and then restarting the host computer itself didn't help.

I am perplexed. Honest, honey, this has never happened before.

Any ideas?

Mac network using FMP 9 on all guest machines and FMPA 9 on the host computer.
