I have been an amateur Filemaker user for years and run my chiropractic
office on a database I built starting in FM5.

 

I am using 2 computers, one opens the file using FM11 and one opens it
remotely FM 10.

 

The system always worked flawlessly but recently the network loses
communication with the host spontaneously and I have to re-open the database
from the remote location.

 

I've checked my security software and replaced my router and all three
switches the office uses but the problem still exists.

 

Sometimes connectivity is lost every few minutes and after several times
re-opening the database from the remote computer it will say not enough
memory to open the database (I am using a core i7 processor, windows 7
professional and one of the two has 12GB ram and the other, 18GB).
Sometimes I receive an error message stating the maximum number of licensed
users are already using the software and it shuts filemaker down on the
remote computer.  (Both computers have licensed software)  The only way to
re-open the database on the remote computer is to shut down filemaker on
both computers and reopen the database then re-open from the remote
location.

 

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it????



I really appreciate the input from the group as many of the conversations
here have shed light on using the system better.

 

I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has.

 

Thanks.

 

Len
