Hi Jim,

Are you saying that you have rebooted this time and NetWorker hasn't come
back again, even with "Starting server" messages in the daemon.log?

I'm painfully aware of times when NetWorker will go to sleep but rebooting
the server has always cleared the problem. If you haven't rebooted yet one
thing to try is rebooting each PC which has run NetWorker Administrator
recently - believe it or not nwadmin on an NT client (and possibly other
platforms!) is capable of hanging nsrd if it fails to startup or shutdown
properly!

Cheers

Mark
