Hello Koen & Douglas, Thank you for confirming that I don't need to change the port numbers for 2 servers on different machines on the same network. I was "pretty" sure that this had worked in the past! Also, my attempt at changing the port numbers does seem to have made the 2nd server invisible, not showing up in available. So I changed the ports back to factory settings, closed & reopened 4d server, switched to another (virtual) machine and still the 2nd db is not showing up. Formerly it was showing up and then there was an error message when people tried to log into it to test the changes. They got this message "The connection for this process has been disrupted or the connection couldn't be established". Any ideas would really be appreciated! Alan
