Accessing Agency from Outside the Office.

Discussion

If you need to login to Agency from outside your office you will need to use a computer that has FileMaker Pro installed, such as a laptop.

Check to verify the computer is connected to the Internet.

Launch FileMaker Pro (not the Agency shortcut, which will only find Agency on your local network).

Go to the File menu, Open Remote.

Enter the name or number of your Agency Server (which you can get from your network administrator) as such: fmnet:/agency.yourdomain.com/main menu.fp7

Then login to Agency with your usual Name and Password.

Note: This article references FileMaker 7 & 8. The speed of Agency will depend on the speed of your Internet connection. Only a Broadband connection is recommended.

If you local network has a Firewall, please see the Firewall Configuration Knowledgebase Article: http://www.omnipilotagency.com/Knowledgebase.35.61.lasso
