Make sure your backuppc server is listed.
Also make sure you dont have any other firewalls running, norton, mcafee etc. You've opened up port 873, you probably also need to specifically allow rsync.exe as a program. These commands will do it...... netsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe name = rsync mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 873 name = rsyncd mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet if you downloaded rsyncd from the backuppc site you should find them commented out in the service.bat which installs and starts the service. p.s. you may also need to enable ping requests ..... netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable Hope that helps, Regards, Les ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
