Title
IWP - Portforwarding - remote access to database problems
Post
Hi
I've read a number of posts regarding issues surrounding remote access to databases through IWP but unfortuantely none of them have helped my situation
I've been trying to sort it for a few days now and am still having problems.
I can access my databases using IP address:591 through my wireless LAN and can do this on a windows laptop and ibook
The trouble is I can't do it outside of this. (I've been using my orange 3G dongle on my laptop to test it)
I have followed the port forwarding instructions set out by http://portforward.com and have also disabled my router firewall along with windows and spysweeper firewalls for testing
I can't see what else I can do and it still isn't working!
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful. I'm currently using FM Pro11 on trial and all I need to do is give access to 1 collegue - until I can do that I can't see much point in buying.
Thanks
Damien
If all else fails, call FileMaker tech support. They should be able to walk you through the various options in a way that takes much longer to do in this forum.
I could be wrong, but I don't think they'd try to charge your for this--especially if you explain you are evaluating the software for possible purchase.
