Hi Richard,
This sounds like a Firewall issue. Does your client have some form
of firewall/switch/router that connects the Macs and server to each
other adn the internet? If so it may be blocking the ports needed
to share the databases. The Port for sharing is 5003. Take a look
at this knowledge base article. It may be of help.

I hope this helps.

I hope so, too, Bruce. I'll read up on it and give it a try next
week. Thanks for the lead.
In the meantime, if anyone else has any suggestions (particularly if
you've encountered this kind of behavior yourself), I'm still
collecting them. I'm trying to assemble a complete set.
