Yes, I have too (I have 7 pairs of FileMaker/web server here), but not  
where the WPE is on the FileMaker Server instead of the web server,  
and never where the web server is somewhere else.

Yes, WPE is installed, XML is enabled, PHP running on the web server,  
but I'm pretty sure now that her web host never actually opened the  
requested ports. He *said* that he did, but when I do a port scan,  
16000, 16016 and 16018 are all closed.
