The next step would be - as I see by scanning the list - Phillipe has already
stated - to create a different (new) client - and force it to use the old
client id.
This should free up the "old" name. You might have to fool Networker into
beleiving it can see this "new" client by putting a client name and IP entry
into your local host file (the client doesnt neccesarily need to exist).

Riaan

I have tried even before deleting the index directory of that client,
but the result is always the same. Creating the client again I am not
able to force a new id, he always takes the old one (which is somewhere
in the media database ?). If I do a backup it seems to work but I can't
find the index in the Networker Administrator's indexes tab.

For the client name I want I don't manage to give him another ID. I
don't understand well what you want to say with the above sentence.
If you search the archive for invisible indexes there is something
similar (item 003139 and 003145). Do I have to divert the client id ?
Thanks
