All my nodes are in the same n/w domain. No firewall issue.

I have defined 3 storage daemons which are on the same node. I can ping the sd ip address from fd.

I have been trying to start the Job from the webmin module of Bacula. I do not get any error over there, but the page just hangs. When tried to execute the command from "bconsole" CLI it said that, "Could not connect to Storage Daemon"

I don't have the exact snapshot of the error now. Will re-generate the error tomo & mail it across.

Let me know, if you need me to send anything more.

My guess is, I have messed up something in the configuration file. Not able to find it :(
