Memory settings In the Mac OS, to see the minimum and preferred
application memory settings for FileMaker Pro, select the
FileMaker Pro application icon after installation and choose Get Info
from the File menu. For information about adjusting the memory
allocated to FileMaker Pro, see “Adjusting memory” on page 3-8.
Networking requirements
We recommend using the TCP/IP protocol for networking the
FileMaker Pro application on both Windows and Mac OS networks.
Windows:
To share files among users on a network, you need to have the following
additional software and hardware installed on your PC:
1 a Windows-compatible network card
1 the software driver for your network card
1 the appropriate TCP/IP network protocol or IPX/SPX network
protocol for Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for
Workgroups, or Windows 3.1
Mac OS:
To share files among users on a network, you can use TCP/IP, MacIPX,
or AppleTalk networking software.
Using MacIPX with AppleTalk When you choose MacIPX for networking,
you can still access your AppleTalk printers and AppleShare servers.
MacIPX is used for networking FileMaker Pro files only.
For more information about MacIPX, see appendix A, “MacIPX control
panel.”
If you are using a 68000 Macintosh computer, such as a Macintosh Plus,
Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, or PowerBook 100, you should use
only the AppleTalk protocol. MacIPX and MacTCP have only limited
support on these computers.
