I don't think that's the problem in my case. While we have an HP server on our internal office network, the two servers I was testing with are actually in seperate colo facilities. While printers recklessly probing ports may cause problems, it still seems a bit of a stretch that such interference happens almost precisely 00:05:03 to 00:05:05 after the beginning of every job. ------ Okay, I've tested with the FD on a different host entirely, and *now* it works. But I still want to back up that other host someday... Here's my previous set-up and theory for failure: Director/SD/Console on machine "server". FD on the "client". The client machine has a funky IP situation: It's incoming IP addresses is not the same as it's outgoing IP address. I have no idea why, but wish I did. (One-way NAT?) 1. The Director talks to the SD and gets a token it can pass to the FD. 2. The Director tells the FD "connect to the SD at this address with this token." 3. The FD connects to the SD, and is accepted. Begins sending data... But the Director's idea of what the FD's IP address is is somehow different from what the SD will register, because the connections were originated from different directions. While it's still possible somebody has some firewall rules I'm not being told about (ones which somehow don't affect Netcat)... What would happen if an FD connected to the SD with a different IP address (but a correct token) than the hostname or IP address the director believes it should have? -- --Darien A.
