Ok a little background ... I have bacula working with about 8 Linux hosts right now and wanted to add a Windows machine to test. For my director, I have all the passwords set to Password = "" including the password definition on the Windows machine for the client config. On the WIndows machine there is no local firewall (as it's already behind a firewall) and no local rules or AV that might thwart my attempt to connect. What I will try now is hunting through some archives as suggested to see how to better troubleshoot the Windows stuff. Currently with no passwords anywhere I figured it would respond the same as all my linux clients and just connect but sadly something isn't meshing up :-) Thanks for all the responses guys, I'll post what I find ... if I find anything lol -- Regards, Lonny -- "To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work ON it." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
