Hi List

This morning I got my AMANDA MAIL REPORT and server had failed.
Thus I have less /tmp/amanda/amandad.20060220210110.debug

Here is the output from the server client debug I have since changed the
Estimate timeout parameter from 300 to " etimeout 380 " on my ~tape
server/amanda.conf Thus doubled the amandad: time 180.183: dgram_recv in
debug report.

amandad.20060220210110.debug lines 12-61/61 (END) 


Thus is there anything else I can do as amcheck is working but amdump
which I believe is the issue relating to TCP but I have ports open on my
firewall 10080:10083 

I have also read that via MAILING LIST - 

*************Mailing List Blurb ***********************

It seems that the client receives an ACK, but the ACK is not what the
client
thinks it ought to be. After that it times out.

Cheers for you help.
