We are trying to upgrade our NBU hardware and OS and are running into
some issues that seem related to doing a cold catalog recovery and name
resolution.

Current setup:
Windows 2003 x86 SP2
NBU 6.5.6

New setup:
Windows 2008 x64 SP2
NBU 6.5.6

Current server and new server are configured with the same name and ip
address.

ISSUE:
We can do a cold catalog backup and restore just fine but have a serious
issue in the end.  After both successes if we open the Activity Monitor
we get an error - "Not connected, check if services are up."

All service are up.

bpjobsd log shows

<2> job_connect: Can't connect automatically to client pbcobk01 status =
25 err = 10061
<2> job_connect: Can't connect to client pbcobk01
<16> main: Can't connect to pbcobk01 (46)

We did a complete system rebuild, installed NBU 6.5.6, and configured to
write to disk.  Test backup ran and Activity Monitor worked fine.  Did
the catalog recovery and the issue came back.

I did some bpclntcmd tests and they all come back with the correct name
but the IP shows as 127.0.0.1.  I added the hostname and real IP to the
hosts file with no luck.

I tried the following tests:
bpclntcmd -pn = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -self = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -hn pbcobk01 = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = correct host and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for ip
address

If I do these test on the current server they come back with the actual
IP of the system.  

TIA
