My server at home has an internal ip of 10.0.1.200. All port forwarding for filemaker pro, for example, is done via the ABS and I can connect to it via the internet merely by typing the static ip address: 72.168.2xxx.xxx. Now, if I wanted to connect to another database hosted on another computer at home with an internal ip address of 10.0.1.150, for example for the same application (FMP), running a different database on that particular computer, how would I do it..

TIA

I haven't had a chance to work with FileMaker in a while, but IIRC, it should be possible for you to override the default listening port it uses for a particular database.

Specify different receiving ports on the ABS to forward the incoming requests to the different receiving ports on the database server.


Thanks. IOW, I will duplicate the ports that FMP (or any other application) needs to send and reveive data, just change the internal ip.

I think you do NOT want to duplicate ports, you want to use different ones.
