FileMaker Pro uses 3 different types of networking, but each database can
only use one type at a time (set in the preferences dialogue). The Mac
version can use either AppleTalk OR TCP/IP (internet) and the Windows
version can use either IPX/SPX or TCP/IP.

If you want to share a FileMaker Pro database between Mac and Wintel
machines, then you must use TCP/IP on an intranet or the internet. For
dial-up connections, you can do this via PPP (the latest versions of Apple
Remote Access Server will accept PPP connections).

I hope this helps!
