Hi all, I've seen this problem and I'm not sure what's causing it. I use Retro 4.3 on the Mac and have Win 98 PCs with the 5.1.5 client. When I set them up *in Retrospect*, I gave them a name like "<hostname>@<room number>". The PC itself is given the name "<hostname>" On some of the laptops, all of a sudden they stop responding to the "backup server" script. When I got to the Clients and click on the user in question, I get the message to the effect that: "<hostname>@<room number>" found: renamed to "<hostname>". I've reset the name to the format I originally wanted, but then it happens again. What's causing this? I've always assumed that if the "backup server" wasn't finding them, it meant they were "off" -- but now they aren't off -- they are just getting "renamed" and, as such, the script isn't finding them anymore. But I can guarantee the end user isn't renaming his client.
