NetWorker 7.2.1 (Solaris) server
NetWorker 7.2.1 (Solaris) storage node #1
NetWorker 7.2.1 (Win2k3) storage node #2
NetWorker 7.2.1 (Win2k3) clients

All,

I have lingering firewall issues and I can't make sense of them.   I've
read and I believe followed the directions in the Windows Admin guide on
setting up firewalls for NetWorker, which basically seem to indicate that
you need to open up a couple of ranges of ports, 7937 to (7937+x) and 10001
to (10001+y), both TCP and UDP, bidirectionally.

I've done that, and I've also configured storage node #2 (behind a
firewall) with nsrports -S 7937-7970 -C 10001-10050 as well as the clients
(which are behind a second firewall.)   Lastly, I've re-started the
services on all boxes to be sure they're freshly loaded with the right
config out of nsrla.res.

What's happening (still) is that I cannot perform a savegrp backup.  I get
RPC failures:

 157. sudo savegrp -vvvv -p -l full -c lendb01 -G GOLD-xxxxxx_Bkups

I would really appreciate any help you can give me.   TIA
