Windows' firewall settings and any firewall in between the FD and SD might be involved here, and of course the whole name resolution stuff. You can try with telnet, from a windows shell, to contact the SD port at the address you configured in the storage section of the bacula-dir.conf file. If this doesn't work you should review your name resolution setup and your firewalls.



The windows box in question is my windows test machine and it has no firewall active. But you are probably right that my "name resolution setup" in incorrect, so I'll have to find out how to set that up correctly (sigh).


The point is to ensure that the address of the SD resolves correctly from the client machine.

If you don't use DNS for resolving, you can either use the IP address - like 10.2.3.4 - or you put the IP-name-relationship into the hosts file. Under Windows, thats, IIRC, in \windows\system32\drivers\etc.

Thanks so much. I have been looking for a hosts file but the windows search function didn't find it. I have now added epohost to the file and that made W2K find epohost.

However, another test run gave same negative result:

15-Mar 17:24 epowork-fd: epowork.2006-03-15_17.19.29 Fatal error: Failed to connect to Storage daemon: epohost:9103 15-Mar 17:22 epo-dir: epowork.2006-03-15_17.19.29 Fatal error: Socket error on Storage command: ERR=No data available
15-Mar 17:22 epo-dir: Bacula 1.38.5 (18Jan06): 15-Mar-2006 17:22:28

OK. Here's what I tried:

1. ping epohost, which pinged the correct IP-address successfully
2. telnet epohost 9103, which produced the error message:
Connecting To epohost...Could not open a connection to host on port 9103: Connect failed 3. I have attached the four conf files in question in case someone would take a look at it and tell me what I do wrong, thanks.
