Im having a very strange problem with Netbackup 5.0MP7 on Solaris
connecting to a windows 2003 client.

Couple of the windows clients have been upgraded to 2003 and after
installing the client i cannot back them up and get status 25.

Using the gui shows cannot connect on socket (Status 25).

The strange thing is i can connect using telnet and following checks
using the detailed status 25 pdf i have. I have uninstalled the client
and re-added it. I have done the same on the master server also for the
policies etc. I have vnetd enabled on it so it should use port 13724 for
backups and 13782 for control afaik.

See below :- (I have left the client name as is but removed the server
name and xxx some of the ip ranges but left the last octet visible)

[Testing from server to client]

root@MASTER# telnet RES-NETDOCS.nmcres.local 13782
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.44...
Connected to RES-NETDOCS.nmcres.local.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection to RES-NETDOCS.nmcres.local closed.

[Testing from client to server]

Works, but on windows the screen goes blank on connection using telnet
so i cant show this. It does work.
