 We're just starting to implement NetBackup with our W2K servers, and 
we've run
 into a similar problem.  Our server is running NetBackup 4.5.5 under 
Solaris 8.  At
 this point, the server can communicate with the client, but as soon as 
the client
 starts up a backup stream, it just hangs (e.g. it looks like it's 
starting to
 transfer data, but it just sits there forever).  We've got about 20 
unix based
 clients that work without problems.  We've also tested the client on 
some XP systems
 which also work ok, so it seems to be something specific to the W2K boxes.

 I'm getting ready to put a support call into Veritas, so I'll post a 
followup as
 soon as I find out what's going on.
