ricwash Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 All our laptops have and Ethernet Card and a Wireless card. With both Network accesses activated, we get a Duplicate Activator Code conflict and therefore nothing gets backed up. Disabling the wireless makes everything work again. Is there anyway to bind Retrospect to just the Ethernet Card? We use DHCP so binding it to a IP will not work for us. Clients are all v6.5, which is confusing since the clients no longer hold the activator codes anymore. Thanks, Ric ----------------------- Frederic L.

natew Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi You may have some old activator information stuck in the configuration files of the backup server. Go to the license manager on the backup machine and remove any old client licenses (they aren't valid anyway). Your clients are windows clients? If so type the following from the command line: C:\program files\retrospect\Client\Retroclient --help It will show you all of the client configuration options Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricwash Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I have tried to remove the old activator codes from the License Manager, I delete all of them..but then they come back... Thanks for the retro client help command, I will try it out. -Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to force Retrospect to only be available on the onboard NIC, not the wireless... -Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hi What do you mean "the codes come back"? It sounds like the root problem is a corrupt client database. It may be a lot of work but try forgetting all of the clients in your client database and then adding them again. Either that or try creating a new set of preferences. You are right, you cannot bind Retrospect to a Nic only an IP address. You can however bind it to the network address if your nics are in different subnets.
