Greetings

I'm new to this website but have been in pre-press for a 25+ years. I am finding myself in a dilemma and found this forum searching for XMF... I work at a small offset/digital shop and my employer went out and bought a XMF Server 5.5 on the aftermarket. Hands it off to me and wants to use it as a backup to our Trueflow system which is going on 10 years and showing signs of sputtering. I initially reached out to Fuji and they will not offer support, installation, or training to aftermarket purchases unless you buy a whole defunct printshop. Hmmm... I wish someone would've contacted Fuji before the purchase.

I think I can figure out the setups, templates and such since it was originally set up for a CTP Dart 4300E which is what we use for plates.

My first major hurdle is trying to connect a mac client to the XMF Windows 2003 Server. I keep getting an error that client cannot connect and to try turning firewall off. The firewall is off and I'm still getting that error even after restarts.

Can anyone help with this and does anyone know of a freelancer who would be willing to help on setup if needed? For a wage of course. Any help or pointing me in right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Have a good day.
