Gowan,
You might want to go over the "bindlistener" registry edit again to make
sure you've done it correctly:
Stop the Client service from the Services control panel.
>From the Start menu, choose Run and type "Regedit" (no quotes).
Open the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dantz\Retrospect Client\5.0, and
highlight the 5.0 folder. You should see a "BindListener" value set to
0.0.0.0.
If the TCP/IP interface you want has a static address, change the
BindListener value to that address.
If the TCP/IP interface you want to use has a dynamic address, set the
BindListener value to the network portion of your IP address. For example,
if the current IP address is 192.168.6.241 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
use 192.168.6.0.
Start the Client service from the Services control panel.
If you're running 2000, this should work. Have you tried uninstalling the
Retrospect Client, then reinstalling it? What version are you running?
Ensure you're running the 5.1 client, as we made significant changes to
bindlistener with that version.
Beyond that, there are several things you can try, one of which is what
Julia has suggested. There's currently not a better way to force the client
to bind to a particular address. We hope to make significant changes to the
Windows client to make this much easier in the future. The following
suggestions are for Windows NT, but obviously apply to 2000 as well:
1. Open the Network control panel and click Bindings. Then set the
pull-down menu to display bindings for all protocols and double-click the
TCP/IP Protocol to see the bindings listed below it. Highlight the desired
binding and click the move up/move down buttons to set the desired order.
Your desired Ethernet card should be at the top of the list.
2. Uninstall the Ethernet card you do not want the client to use.
Restart. Check that the client is binding to the right adapter. Reinstall
the removed card. Make sure the Retrospect client is still binding to the
correct card.
3. Try putting the desired Ethernet card into a different slot in the
computer.
