srunkel1 Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Just installed Retrospect Professional 6.5 on Windows XP, and client 5.1.157 on Mac OS 9.1. Client is running fine. When I try to add client in Retrospect on the Win machine, it just says "searching for backup clients..." forever. However, if I click "Test..." and enter the IP address of the client G4 machine, it immediately says "Found a backup client" and gives the specs. But -- and this blows me away -- it STILL doesn't really find it, and OKing the "found" window puts it back to searching forever. As an additional note, the two computers are networked together via a DSL router. There is NO additional networking software running on the network, and the two computers CANNOT see each other via Chooser or Network Neighborhood. Thoughts?

natew Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hi It sounds like the XP firewall is blocking port 497 or your DSL router does not allow multicast packets. I would take a look at those things first. Do you have a firewall or internet security program on the mac? Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
