Yes, and it's always been a firewall issue when I've seen it.

A Windows XP machine turning on the Windows firewall is a perfect 
example.  The firewall lets thru all outgoing connections, but NetBackup 
requires allowing new inbound connections to some ports, even with 
vnetd/no_connect_back.

If ICF has been turned on, then you must allow some ports from your 
backup server(s).  I use 13720, 13724, 13782 and 13783, but your needs 
may vary.
Details: start Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area 
Connection -> Properties / Settings -> Advanced tab -> (now you'll see 
the checkbox for "Protect my computer..." (the firewall)) -> Settings -> 
and click "Add..." to make a service for each port you require.

If anyone knows of an easier way, I'm all ears ;-)

cheers, wayne
