Amandad won't be running until xinetd starts it.  Xinetd won't start
it until it sees incoming packets for it.  That's xinetd's job :-)

It might be time to run ethereal on both the client machine and tha
Amanda server.  Make sure the server is really sending the Amanda
requests to the correct IP address.  Then make sure the client machine
is receiving the requests.  There may be an egress filter on the
Amanda server that's blocking the outgoing packets, or the server may
have the wrong IP address for the client.
