The two FileMaker servers both reside on the same subnet without a firewall between. The windows firewall is disabled on both machines. I have verified that both machines can ping by domain name (short and fully qualified) to the other.

I'm trying to enable web publishing on a Filemaker 9 installation. We're using the main two server role. This server was previously attached to another dead web publishing server. Now whenever I attempt to connect I receive an error code 956, maximum connection attempts exceeded. There are no other outstanding connections. How can I resolve this?

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
