Hey,
I do not have the control over the DNS server for either my windows machine
or the Unix Server. My Unix server which is also the bacula dir server
cannot ping my windows client by host name, and again I do not have the
control over the DNS server. So I guess I am left with the third option.
Can you please give me some insight into setting up restrivcted console.
There is also nothing much about it in the manual. Or if you can pelse just
send me the link.
Thanks

I see three possible solutions.
One, set up your dhcp server to assigne the same addresses to the
machines. This is, as long as the dhcp address pools are not exhausted,
the default behaviour of the isc dhcpd, by he way. Other services do
also profit from the resulting semi-static addresses.
Two, use dynamic DNS updates with dhcp, so that the machines might have
changing IP addresses, but the DNS names remain the same. Then, use the
FQDN in Baculas configuration.
Three, set up a restricted console on the dynamic addressed clients and
use the setip facility before you run backups (or set up the startup
scripts or the dhcp client on the machines to initiate a setip when the
address changes).
The solutions are given in order of my personal preference, by the way.
