jjf Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 We have just recently switched our office users from automatic DHCP to DHCP with manual address to accommodate some VPN software. Since doing this, some of our overnight back-ups result in clients not being visible and the back-up not running. In the morning when you go to check, a client, the computer is on, the client software is on, but Retrospect cannot see them. You have to go and turn on the automatic DHCP, then revert back to manual, input the IP and Retrospect can see them again. The clients that are no longer visible are not always the same clients, so it is not machine specific. Some of the details are: Retrospect server V 6.1.138 Retrospect Client V6.1.130 Retrospect server is on Mac OSX 10.4 Clients run on OSX 10.5 on Mac mini's, Imac's and Powerbooks. We are not using the newer version of 6 because we did once before and we were experiencing very frequent crashing after the update for quite some time, so we reverted back. My question is, is there an issue using manual IP's or is there any reason for this problem to be occuring. I did not switch the clients to be added by Address - do you need to do this for this method? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
