I am running 2.4.5P1 server on a Solaris host.

I have a cygwin Win2003 client that sites behind a firewall.

Can someone explain the IP address 0.0.0.0:PORTNUM. This seems to be causing me problems in trying to get my amanda server to talk to the Win2003 client.

It means that this program is listening on INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0), i.e.

I have one firewall setting that that allows all IP on our subnet to get to any host and to any service on the LAN. The firewall setting works because I can run netcat from the amanda server to the 100080 UDP port of the cygwin client behind the firewall and I get the proper response.

But when I run amcheck I am getting the timed out message.

./amcheck -c daily cygwinclient
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: cygwinclient: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.025 seconds, 1 problem found

I believe it has to do with the 0.0.0.0:PORTNUMBER that is used by amanda to communicate with the clients. I am not exactly sure what or how this works but I know on a previous cygwin client, outside of the firewall that used

zonealarm, I had to trust the IP address 0.0.0.0.

Is this something that I should be able to set on a the firewall?

I have no experience with ZoneAlarm, sorry.
