To be fair, you can't rely on your IT guys to know that. Sure, they could grow up and not blame things that they don't know much about, but that is not in their nature. You just need to take them by the hand and lead them down the path to true enlightenment. ::-) j. On Mar 21, 2012, at 7:47 AM, Áki Á Jónsson wrote: Hi all. I have Filemaker server Advanced 11 on MacMini and Filemaker Pro 11v3 running on Windows 7, Windows XP pro and Filemaker Pro 11v4 Macs with Snow Leopard. Everything has been running smoothly until recently we the IT guys from the big PC company are setting up Windows 7 on some machines. Then we sometimes get error messages that the Windows 7 firewall has blocked some features of the Filemaker program. After that we can see the server in open remote but no list of databases appears under them. This seems to happen to some machines but not all Any ideas? Of course the IT guys at the PC company blame the MacMini and Filemaker Server advanced... I am not buying that for one second. My bet is that they are setting up Windows 7 on the PC machines differently.....
