Not a registered client

[eaol]

When we try to do a backup on a W2K-client we get the following messages

Backing up files of client 'sudden' to server 'chef.afa.se'.
Backup: SYSTEM error: `sudden' is not a registered client
Backup: Cannot open Backup session with client chef.afa.se

We can do a nslookup from both server and client.

Hi eaol,

try adding the FQDN as an alias. Sometimes Networker resolves names weird.

The other suggestion would be, that "sudden" has two interfaces and the default route is from the wrong Interface - resulting in a different IP and therefore a different name.

If this is the case, try adding the IP name of the other Interface to the aliases too.

Hope it helps

Networker can use the short-name, the full-name or the IP address at various stages.
On the server, do a ping of sudden, a ping of the FQDN and ensure they return the same IP address.
Do the same on sudden to the server.
Next, do an nslookup of the shortname, FQDN and IP address of the server from sudden and vice versa.
Ensure that all results match.

try adding the client as FQDN-dot (mycomputer.domain.com.) -- this worked for me when I was having the same problem.
