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. http://filemaker.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/filemaker.cfg/php/enduser/ std_adp.php?p_faqid=6095

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.
