I have two amandad debug files on the client:
amandad.20031107100613000.debug
amandad.20031107100613.debug
The "noop" is in the amandad.20031107100613.debug file, that has no
errors. The amandad.20031107100613000.debug file is the one with the
timeout errors.
I find no errors in my Amanda server debug files.
There's no firewall and I don't see any evidence that's it's dropping
off the net. It only has one ethernet card and I checked to make sure
the router and the box were set at Full Duplex. No packet loss or
collisions and DNS seems to be working fine.
I'm still confussed on what it can be and how to resolve it.
Thanks for your response,
CWilson
