I also work primarily on Macs and have rarely had problems. So I'm
no expert here, but since no-one else has responded I'll say my bit.
Almost certainly you've got something somewhere in the network that
is blocking ports. I can't remember which ports are needed for
Filemaker networking/sharing, but you can find out pretty easily in
the documentation or online.
Possible problem points are going to be any routers, gateways or
similar on your network and built-in firewalls in the workstations.
Given that all clients seem to be failing, my guess is that there
is some device between the host and clients. Did you set up the
network? Are you sure your server is within your LAN, not outside
the router?
No, I'm network illiterate. Haven't had to pay attention, since FMP
always works so seamlessly. Or HAS, up till now.
