One thing that does appear in our daemon.log is hundreds of messages
like: 
08/01/05 15:17:10 ansrd: Cannot bind socket to connection port in configured 
port range on system astro.

This is on the Networker server, astro, so it's trying to connect to itself.
There's no firewall running on the local machine, so it should connect.
nsrports is left to the default, which by my calculations is plenty of
ports. 

Cheers,
Gavin.
