We are running osx server 10.3.8 with filemaker pro (non server) Both filemaker and the os are patched up to date. However Filemker quits atleast once per day normally during the night when its not being used.

Help ????

Hi Rick,

My name is John, and I'll try to help you out here.

I need to get some more information from you about your setup to answer your question/problem.

What version of FileMaker are you running? 7? 6?

Are you sharing databases with others from the OS X server? If so, how many people? And, just to be clear, are you running this in Peer-to-Peer sharing?

Are there any other services being used on the server (File Sharing, Backup, etc.)?

If you can let me know more details, I can make better recommendations.

Thanks.

I think i have found the problem, there were some problems where we couldn't log on to the server from certain ip address's, so I switched the server to Wireless connection, changed the Ethernet ip address, restarted changed the ip address back to the original, restarted and that has fixed the problem. I am not sure if it was a corrupt ip stack or routing table however its is working fine now.

Hi Rick,

Glad it has worked out for now. I recommend that you look into a copy of FileMaker server. It's really the safest way to serve FileMaker databases to multiple users. I'm not an employee or anything, just been administering FileMaker for a number of years.

I'll go ahead and close the ticket.
