Netback Server connection Error

[linux_netbackup]

I'm having some issues connecting to linux clients using the backup server. I am getting the following error when trying to connect.

I have checked and made sure bpcd is running from xinetd. 

Thanks in advance.

From the backup server can you telnet to the bpcd port on the linux client?

telnet linuxclient003 bpcd

[linux_netbackup]

problem was resolved. The backup server had interfaces connected to 172.21.3.x and 172.21.15.x. The client was using 172.21.3.x to get to the backup server and the server was returning the traffic through the 172.21.15 interface.
