Hi,


12/07/2006 08:33:45 Waiting to be contacted by the server. => so 1501
outbound is open.

Your problem seems to be the prompted scheduling option. This means you
need to open the ports on you local firewall to let the ITSM server
contact your client. If you don't use the 'webports' option, this are
random ports. With webports you can define fixed port.

Alternate option is to use the scheduling option 'polling', which will
let the client contact the server to see if and when work is needed/to
be done. Less configuration work to be done.

Regards,

Karel

Someone can probably easily point it out, but I am trying to figure out
what I may have misconfigured on a client. It is attempting to back up
through a firewall to our TSM server. The client host machine is running
Linux and also has a built-in firewall.
