Configuring the MacIPX control panel
The MacIPX control panel configures itself after you install it and restart
your computer. To change the MacIPX control panel to select a different
network interface or to change any MacIPX parameters, see appendix A,
“MacIPX control panel,” in FileMaker Pro Installation and New
Features Guide.
Using TCP/IP with FileMaker Pro Server
To use the TCP/IP protocol with FileMaker Pro Server, you must have
Open Transport 1.0.8 or later installed on your computer. Use the Open
Transport 1.1 disks included in the FileMaker Pro Server package to
install Open Transport. See the Open Transport documentation for
information on how to install Open Transport and configure TCP/IP.
Starting FileMaker Pro Server
Start FileMaker Pro Server by double-clicking its icon in the
FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 Folder, or by selecting the icon and choosing
Open from the File menu. You can also make an alias to have
FileMaker Pro Server start automatically each time you start your
computer. See the next section for more information.
See “Personalizing your copy of FileMaker Pro Server” on page 1-9 for
details on how to personalize the application the first time you start it.
Making an alias
Previous versions of FileMaker Pro Server automatically put an alias of the
application in the Startup Items folder of your System Folder. This caused
FileMaker Pro Server to start up whenever you started your computer.
Important Throw away any alias from a previous version of FileMaker Pro
Server in your Startup Items folder. To make an alias for FileMaker Pro
Server 3.0, use these steps.
1. In the Finder
™
, select the FileMaker Pro Server icon in the
FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 Folder.
2. Choose Make Alias from the File menu.
You see an alias of FileMaker Pro Server in the folder.
3. Copy or drag the alias into the Startup Items folder in your
System Folder.
