FTR: On many, many Windows machines I've had to add port 9102 (and 9101 depending) to the Exceptions under Windows Firewall, in order to circumvent this type of bug with bacula-fd.

But the FD does not listen on IPv6 (in Linux, you can turn it on to make it work, in Windows, IPv6 is not yet implemented in the FD). With the Windows firewall turned on, this leads to a timeout. With the Windows firewall turned off, bacula finds out about the failure of the IPv6 connection quickly, and switches to IPv4.
Well, in this case, bug is a subjective term. Everything is working as
designed. It may be called stupid or dumb, but everything is working
according to spec.
