Replying at the bottom makes it easy to follow the conversation.

Also, remember to reply to the list, as well as me.  This protects you 
by deterring me from giving you malicious advice.  It also allows others 
to help/learn.

If you telnet to the port, do you get a reply?  Something like this:

$ telnet 10.0.0.1 9102
Trying 10.0.0.1...
Connected to bast.example.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
test
Connection closed by foreign host.


Where:

10.0.0.1 is the IP address of the client
test is what I typed after the system answered

Try this on both the Bacula Server and on the Windows Server.
