Is your old server still connected to a jukebox?  What version of
Networker?

My memory was that you could remove all licensing from Networker and it
could be used for restoration.  However, that's only true for a single
drive.

Hm...  Don't know why it would do that.  I would think it should give a
message and exit if it detected an invalid license or a license
conflict.

Maybe something's timing out on DNS because it's not on the network?
