It has to be able to resolve the director to connect to it though ;-) > I do however remeber while installing the client it > did asked for the the server name, and I gave FQDN there.

So you can ping the director *from* the new machine but only if you use the FQDN? I'm not sure how Windows does it but do you have a default 'search' domain specification for DNS in Windows? On Linux you can specify this in the resolve.conf file with a 'search' directive: search mydomain.com nameserver dns.server.com The specific failure was: gethostbyname() for host "tracfire" failed: I'm assuming tracfire is the director you can not conenct to, and it looks like it's becasue it doesn't know what its' IP is (can't resolve in DNS). -- L > Regards > > On 3/28/07, Lonny Selinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> > Hi everyone, >> > >> > I am trying to add a windowes XP client to my backup infrastructure.
