Ok, now I am confused, too :-; >> - watch the log lines scroll >> >> But first check that the DIR has the correct address for the FD - >> perhaps the IP address has changed some time in between...

Testing using telnet too :-) Yes, but I had the impression that the DIR might have the wrong IP of your client. > "status client" works fine talking to the FD.

(I have no login on the linux box, so ...) Nothing linux specific - purely Bacula. You can dynamically assign a new address to a client using the setip command. You only need a configured console, connect using one of Baculas console programs to the DIR, issue 'setip' and the DIR learned a new address for the client you logged in from. But that's not the problem here, I assume, because if it would the status command would not work. Anyway, then keep the debug output running and stored and start a job and see what happens. Perhaps that debug output tells something interesting.
