We currently have FileMaker Pro running on our EtherNet with no porblems.  There
are always at least 3 users connected, and up to as many as 8.  We have never
expeirenced any data loss or corruption.  One thing to keep in mind is that
whoever opens the file first becomes the host and can not quit out of the file
until all of the guests have.  To solve this problem we have the file open in
the background on our server under system 7 all of the time.  This way the
server is always the host.
