[FX.php List] Re: Connection problem

Hi,

The server was changed because it crashed. It was a 2000 macine before, now
it is XP proffessional. The IP address and web-companion settings are the
same as before. It is not that the scripts do not connect, it is that they
fail in 30% of the cases. After a simple refresh (F5) they do work. The FM
server is still the same so all needed tabels have sharing and web-companion
turned on.

Wouter.
