Helping Web users find your database
Browsing a database set up in FileMaker Pro Web Companion requires
only Web browsing software and access to the Internet (or an intranet).
The Web browser must also have the Internet Protocol (IP) address (and
port number if it is other than 80, which is the default) of the machine
that hosts your database file. You can supply this address for the user to
type directly in the Web browser software, or you can provide a link to
this IP address on a Web page you set up.
Example The IP address of the machine that hosts your database file is
similar to
12.34.56.78. To see your data, the user launches Web
browser software and types this IP address.
If you have specified a port number other than 80, that port number must
be appended, using a colon, to your IP address:
12.34.56.78:591
For more information see “Specifying a port number” on page 11-11.
For more information on using a custom home page, see “Specifying a
home page for your database” on page 11-9.
Note If you connect to the Internet using a modem connection to an
Internet service provider, your IP address could be dynamically
allocated, meaning it is different each time you connect. This makes it
much more difficult to create links from a Web page to your database,
since your IP address is constantly changing.
