You're almost there, and in correct configuration too! Bless you. ;)
Open the files on the Unlimited server as a guest of the FM Server
machine, just as if Unlimited were another workstation. It is,
essentially, a workstation for all users coming in through web access.
LAN users open through the Open > Hosts route as usual. Make sure no OS
filesharing is on for the FM Server machine, or for the web server
either, for that matter.
The IP of the Unlimited Server is the IP for the web access. All HTML
files should live on the Unlimited server in the Web folder. The
Filemaker files, of course, remain on the FM Server machine. Make sure
the web companion plugin is set up properly on the Unlimited machine.
During the time that the FM Server is running automated backup
schedules, the web access will be denied while the files are paused, so
try to set those schedules for periods of low traffic.
Our own Tim (Webko) will be able to give more details if you need them,
but you're sooooo close. :)
