Chris,
Name resolution was not working from media server to novell server.
I have made an entry into host file and that is fixed.
I started my backup to test speed and errors after the above; Still at 79 mb min and still "unable to initialize remote agent" bummer
DNS is not working from Netware to the media server.
I never really thought DNS was a problem since my backup was connecting and running.
I have not resolved this second name resolution yet. Got issues there. But will.
How important is it that the netware server resolve the media server? I can see the other way but..
I unloaded the NLM because I wanted to know for certain if it was being used or not. Since the job continued along it told me for certain that the remote agent was not being used.
No errors with BESTART. I verify that way and using console-loade modules to make sure NDMPD, BUEXEC, and NRLTLI are loaded.
Netware 6.5
