The server is running Redhat linux 7.1. There's no firewall in between them except for the ipchains firewall on the server. But I opened up port 10080, so that shouldn't be a problem right? I just built a second client on a redhat 7.1 box ( a different one) and it has the same trouble when I run amcheck). I'm not sure why the server isn't getting the selfcheck packet that the clients send. But from the amandad.*.debug files and the output from amcheck, it seems like that's the basic problem. Any ideas? Rafe
