Installing FileMaker Pro 1-3
Networking requirements
To share files among users on a network, you can use TCP/IP, IPX/SPX,
or AppleTalk networking software. You can use one of the following
solutions to share files on a mixed Mac OS and PC network.
For more information about MacIPX, see appendix A, “MacIPX control
panel.” For information about other networking protocols, see the
documentation that came with your Mac OS computer or network
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.
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.
Web publishing requirements
To publish a database on the Web using the FileMaker Pro Web
Companion, you need a host computer with access to the Internet or an
intranet via TCP/IP. The host computer must be either a Mac OS
computer or a PC running Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 or later.
Note Web publishing in FileMaker 4.0 is not supported under
Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.
Important Access to the Internet requires an Internet service provider.
FileMaker Pro does not provide an Internet account for you.
