Re: [BackupPC-users] help with Error: Can't Find IP address for HP-PC-XP
2010-01-24 14:57:34
I can ping HP-PC-XP from any machine on my LAN (debian (debian 5.0_, ubuntuserver (ubutuserver 8.04), the mac (x10.5), and another xp box (xp sp3)). the firewall on the xp box is down (the app is not running, and windoz firewall disabled).
the log file is attached.
you will notice that the machine name in the log is hp_office_pc (it is the same machine I refer to in the postings as HP-PC-XP.

Do you have log file entries for the attempt? And is the XP firewall blocking
everything including pings?
