I'm having some problems setting up a Windows 2000 media server.  We're
running NBU DC 4.5FP5 with a Solaris master server.  All of my other
media servers are UNIX based.

When I try bpgetconfig from the master server to the windows media
server, all I get is "network connection timed out".  When I try a UNIX
media server on the same subnet as the windows media server, the command
runs.

=46rom watching snoop on the master server, it successfully connects to
the windows media server and the master successfully gives the media
server the "call back" port number.  The next thing to happen is that
the media server does an RST on the origianl connection and never
attempts to "call back" to the master server where I'm running the
bpgetconfig command.

I have set the ALLOW_RESERVED_PORTS and have tried different
SERVER_RESERVED_PORT_WINDOW values in the master server's bp.conf file,
but the connection still times out.  I'll also mention that the running
the bpgetconfig command on the UNIX media server that is on the same
subnet as the windows media server gives the exact same results.

I'm starting to think there is something else that needs done on the
windows media server.  Personally, I'd like to see them ditch the
windows servers in favor of UNIX boxes.  That would make things much
simpler.

Any thoughts?
