I pulled this off the FM Tech info database. I hope it offers some insight.

A guest trying to access a file using a browser may receive the error
message "Cannot Access File Via Proxy, No DNS Entry".

This can occur on an intranet with a firewall and has to do with the way the
network is configured.  To verify this, go to the host machine and:

On Windows 95:
Select each item in the path:
Start menu/ Settings/ Control Panel/Network/select TCP IP/ Properties/IP
Address. Note the IP address, then click DNS Configuration. The first two or
three sets of numbers of any IP addresses listed in the DNS Server Search
Order should match the corresponding numbers in the IP Address. For example,
if the IP Address is 11.222.33.44, the first sets of numbers in any IP
address in the DNS Server Search Order box should be 11.222.33 or 11.222.

On Windows NT:
Select each item in the path:
Start menu/ Settings/ Control Panel/Network/Protocols/TCP IP
Protocol/Properties*/IP Address. Note the IP address, then click the DNS
tab. The first two or three sets of numbers of any IP addresses listed in
the DNS Server Search Order should match the corresponding numbers in the IP
Address. For example, if the IP Address is 11.222.33.44, the first sets of
numbers in any IP address in the DNS Server Search Order box should be
11.222.33 or 11.222.

*If "Properties" is not available, restart your machine using your own
domain and try this procedure again. You will need to restart your machine
again under the network domain after this process.

On Macintosh:
Open the TCP/IP Control Panel and compare the IP Address with the Name
Server Address; the first two or three sets of numbers should be the same
for each. For example, if the IP Address is 111.222.333.44, the first sets
of numbers in the Name Server Address should be 111.222.333 or 111.222.

The owner of the host machine should contact the Network Administrator
before making any changes to the information in these control panels. This
situation is not specific to FileMaker Pro 4.0 or Filemaker 5.0, and can
happen when serving any document on the Web.
