Airport, Filemaker Pro 8.5 and Instant Web Publishing

I have a static IP address, with airport configured to distribute to 3 other computers and a printer, using 10.0.1.1 addressing.
In Filemaker, I've designed a data base, turned Instant Web Publishing On, the url showing is:
10.0.1.3:591 (I've set port 591 for use, as it is specifically for FMP.) The file is open, and testing with Safari using (10.0.1.3:591) the DB works flawlessly.
Coming from an 'outside' computer, I've tried the static URL with :591, and Safari returns "Server stopped responding". Obviously, I have something incorrectly set - can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Sounds like you haven't told the router/base station to forward external connections on port 591 to your server.
By default your router is going to block all incoming traffic. If you're running a server inside your network that you want external users to access you need to tell your router that. It needs to know to accept connections on port 591 and forward them to the internal server. Not surprisingly this is known as 'port forwarding' and is discussed at length here and on other forums.
If you're using an AirPort Base Station you can use the AirPort Admin Utility to setup port forwarding. Add port 591 (and/or any other ports you want accessible from the outside world) and tell them which internal machine the traffic should go to (10.0.1.3 in this case) and you're set.

  • Bridge mode, share a public IP address,&  Filemaker instant web publishing

    I have finally wrestled my Time Capsule into working order as a router. For some reason, when I try either to use the router in Bridge Mode or Distribute a Range of IP addresses, I couldn't connect to the internet through an ethernet cable to a ComCast cable modem. It works fine with Share a Public IP Address, so I'm happy . . . until I went back to the filemaker instant web publishing.
    The instant web publishing seems to need an absolute address (e.g. 67.123.45.23) rather than the relative address (e.g. 10.0.1.4). I tried to go to Whatismyip.com to get my actual IP address, but I can't get to it that way either. Is there any way to keep the relative addresses distributed by the Time Capsule while sharing an IP, but still have a fixed IP to publish the filemaker database to? Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

    Well, my posts a year late, but just a suggestion:
    From what you said about how "The instant web publishing seems to need an absolute address (e.g. 67.123.45.23) rather than the relative address (e.g. 10.0.1.4)." I think I might remind you that they meant a "static IP", which doesn't change every time you connect. An absolute IP would be virtually impossible unless you requested it from a top-tier company. (And yes, you can subscribe to a service that gives you one, but it's way more than any ordinary person can afford) The other option, which you (and the rest of us) are using is a dynamic IP. It assigns an IP to each of our computer every time we "log on" to the internet
    But, if you say that you only need instant web publishing, you can always try some kind of service like dynDNS that can redirect any (of your) domain(s) to your IP every time you connect.
    dynDNS is free, but has business accounts....
    (iWeb, on the other hand, is entirely different. iWeb is designed to export the website to Apple's server, therefore you do not need to deal with the whole IP thing.)

  • Configure static ip address through time capsule for Filemaker Pro

    I am trying to setup a static IP Address for Filemaker Pro Instant Web Publishing.
    My current configuration is that I have a Netgear CG3100D modem/router set up to be a modem only.  NAT Mode is Disabled (Bridge Mode).  This is then connected to my Apple TimeCapsule.
    What I am now trying to do is to configure my Windows 7 PC to have a static IP address so that remote devices can access my filemaker pro database.
    I have downloaded (and configured?) a tool called no-ip DUC v3.04 that I thought would help solve my connection issues, but I think that I still have a problem with how to open a port number.
    When i open my browser and make a connection on my network with the ip address:port number specified through Filemaker I can get a connection.  However I can not get a connection remotely.
    I know I haven't provided a great deal of information here, but I am happy to provide more, once I konw what information is required.
    Any assistance or advice with this would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm not too familiar with FileMaker Pro, but if you like to give static IP addresses to anything you would have to use DHCP Reservations using Airport Utility.
    Open Airport Utility, select the Time Capsule device, click Manual Setup, navigate the Internet icon, then the DHCP tab, you'll see DHCP Reservations towards the bottom.

  • Filemaker Pro 8, Virtual PC 7 Leopard

    Successfully ran the Apple Hardware Test on my 2Ghz DP PowerMac G5 last night followed by a clean install of Leopard. After this I did clean installs of both Filemaker Pro 8.03 and Virtual PC 7.03. I was able to run both without problem, although because Lexmark hasn't updated the driver yet for my Optra E232, I wasn't able to test printing. Because of the printing issue, I restored my Tiger installation from a clone drive; I'll stay in Tiger till printing works.

    You have posted in the wrong forum. This is the Boot Camp forum about running Windows and Windows softwares.

  • Unable to get Database Connectivity vi to List Tables of a Filemaker Pro database

    Hello Forum,
    I've been successful using my ODBC Admin to create a System DSN for a simple Filemaker Pro db on my PC running Windows XP (I wish I could delete my previous post asking for help doing that!).  Now, my LV program successfully "connects" to the db using the "DB Tools Open Connection vi".  However, I cannot get the "DB Tools List Tables" vi to give me a list of the database's tables.  LV just returns an empty string array.  However, I can accomplish other tasks such as listing the columns of a table using the "DB Tools List Columns" vi.
     Any thoughts on why I cannot list the db's tables??

    Hi NI,
    I am still getting a empty string array result when I use "DB Tools List Tables" vi.  I am running Filemaker Pro 10.0v1 and LabVIEW 8.2.  I can get other DB VIs to work just fine, namely: "DB Tools List Columns", "DB Tools Insert Data", "DB Tools Execute Query" and "DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data".  I can obviously work around not having the "List Tables" code, but it makes me wonder where I'm going wrong.

  • Activate web publishing feature problem

    I am trying to use the object model to activate the site collection publishing feature, and the web publishing feature on a new site. Here is a snippet of my code.
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SiteUrl))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    //Activate the publishing feature at the site collection level (PublishingSite)
    site.Features.Add(new Guid("F6924D36-2FA8-4f0b-B16D-06B7250180FA"));
    //Activate the publishing feature at the web level (PublishingWeb)
    web.Features.Add(new Guid("94C94CA6-B32F-4da9-A9E3-1F3D343D7ECB"));
    The problem is I get an error that says "The SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature must be activated at the site collection level before the Publishing feature can be activated."
    I have browsed to the site and verified the Publishing feature is activated at the site collection level. I have double checked that the GUIDs are correct. Does anyone have an idea why I am getting this error and cannot activate the publishing feature on
    the web level?

    Hi
    Did you try like this, I meant adding allowunsafeupdates
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SiteUrl))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    { site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    //Activate the publishing feature at the site collection level (PublishingSite)
    site.Features.Add(new Guid("F6924D36-2FA8-4f0b-B16D-06B7250180FA")); site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    //Activate the publishing feature at the web level (PublishingWeb)
    web.Features.Add(new Guid("94C94CA6-B32F-4da9-A9E3-1F3D343D7ECB")); web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

  • Port Forwarding for Filemaker Pro on Airport Extreme

    I really don't know what I'm doing - I'm trying to get my Instant Web for Filemaker to work - It was set up on my MacBook Pro and then I moved everything to this iMac and now it's not working. I do know that the port for FM Pro is 591. I have it set up in FM Pro sharing and it gives me an IP address that should work. Which, by the way, it does inside my network, but not from outside. So, I need to know how to set up the Port Forwarding on my Apple Extreme to make this work.

    I don't use FM, but do port forwards on AE for my private website using DynDNS
    Go to Applications >> Utilities >> AirPort Utility >> pick your AE and click Manual Setup button
    Go to Advanced >> Port Mapping >> click the PLUS to add a new port fwd
    Leave the Service drop down as is
    Set public TCP and private TCP fields to 591
    Set the private IP to the IP address of your iMac as your AE assigned it - I assume that your AE will have 10.0.1.1 and your iMac will be 10.0.1.X - not sure whether you use DHCP and let AE do the work or manually assign private IPs yourself
    Give it a description in the next window. Not sure about advertising via Bonjour - I'd try both.
    If you don't know what private IP your iMac has, go to applications >> utilities >> Terminal app and type this command: ifconfig
    You'll see something like this. In my case, since I use Ethernet to connect my mac to AE router, the en0 is my active connection and my private IP is 10.0.1.12 as shown below. If you use WiFi, you'r main connection will be en1

  • Leopard Mail and Filemaker pro - "Send Mail" is s-l-o-w

    When I upgraded to Leopard, I began having a problem with the "Send Mail" function in Filemaker Pro, even after I upgraded to the latest version. Previously, sending mail with an attachment to 300 BCC addresses went very quickly - about 10 seconds. Since Leopard, I have begun seeing each address get loaded into the BCC line, an operation taking 20 minutes or more. Has anyone else seen this, and are there any suggestions on how to remedy it?

    You might try this.
    MAC Mail, for some reason, wants a DNS server setting in the network setup.
    Under System Preferences, go to Network and add your DNS numbers for your ISP Server. Get the right numbers from your ISP. I did a search for "DNS" on the ATT/YAHOO member web site.
    This fixes the slow checking and sending of mail....It also fixes problems where mail sends slow and may give Authentication errors.
    I spent many hours on this and finally the answer was posted on this forum.
    Public DNS servers are less likely to be changed. They have been tried and do work. Nobody knows why.
    For Public DNS servers look at.

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!

    Help Me please

    That would be software. And, you said "upload." That's "uploading software." Why do you question what you stated?
    I don't know where you even want to upload this software. The only way it can be downloaded to a device is through the iTunes store. Do you even know what you want to do?

  • TS1702 how can i up load a program from my pc to my i pad  ? do i first have to upload it to I tunes (its a mac program) or is there a plug in that has a usb on one end and apple plug on th other?  i wnat to upload filemaker Pro for Mac to my i pad

    Hello guys and thanks for trying to help me.  I want to upload Mac programs that i have saved on my pc to my I Pad (the latest one) and do i have to upload it first to I Tunes and then down load it to the ipad and if so how do i do that (upload to i tunes)
    Second, is there an Apple adapter ( i have off brand ones fro China that don't work and i was told they would. also one from a company in he US and it doesn't work)
    One big question, if i upload (after you tell me how) FileMaker Pro Adv Mac to the I Pad can i create run time solutions from the ipad as if it were a laptop or computer or air book??? becuase that is the main reason i purchased the I Pad.
    i really would like to get to use the i pad but don't know the first thing about Macs..
    Norman  (reach me at [email protected])

    No, Mac programs and applications do not run on the iPad. an iPad is not a laptop. It can run only programs designed specifically for it and that are available only through the App Store.
    Ipads are geared towards media consumption, not so much creation.
    Perhaps what you should have bought is a MacBook Air rather than an iPad.  A Macbook Air is a fulll laptop, than runs a full MacOsx and can run File Maker Pro.

  • Is there a cheap or free good alternative program to Filemaker pro that will work on Mavericks and allow me to open FM databases from version 7?

    I recently switched from a power pc (2004 I think) to a MacBook Pro, and had to upgrade so much. My old system was running Filemaker pro 7. I really need a good database program for my work (freelance/self-employed), and have forked out so much money on other programs, that I'm hoping I can find a freeware or shareware version of a good DB program to use that will work for me. Any suggestions? I am not that tech-savvy. Thanks.

    Ditto on all those points.  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner to make a full bootable backup.  Time Machine is NOT adequate, particularly for virtual machines.
    After upgrading to Yosemite, make sure you do a repair permissions in disk utility....and be prepared for some 10.10 bugs (it's just now becoming stable).

    Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
    Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.
