Error 58 is a can't connect error. Err 57 is if it can't reverse correctly and authenticate the server or if the list of allowed servers in the client is wrong.
We just pounded a bunch of these to death on a handful of servers. A quick test is to "telnet <host> bpcd" from the master server. If you get a "connection refused", then the service might be down on the client (usually). If you just hang, before getting to the server, check your firewalls. We ended up reinstalling the client in a number of NT boxen to fix the problem. One server had to be manually stripped of all things NB, rebooted, and then reinstalled before it worked. Usually, though, the service on the client needs to be started or, if already on, bounced.

I have Netbackup 5.0MP7 (dont ask, due for upgrade shortly). with various unix/windows clients. We have added some new windows 2003 clients and are having trouble with connection status 58. There is no DNS involved and the Master server (solaris) can telnet to client ports 13782 and 13724 Vnetd has been configured for the clients with bpclient -client <client> -add -no_callback 1. The issue we have is the Windows client itself doesnt seem to look for entries in %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and i can't figure out why. I can connect to the master server by ip on ports 13724 and 13782 but not via name we have configured. If we configure the name in lmhosts it can telnet via name but Netbackup doesnt' work properly and can't connect. I've googled but had no joy as was pointed to a reg key which may be affecting things but its not on this system. Anyone any ideas?
