Open the corresponding ports in the firewall setup.

The reason udp port 34932 was tried because Amanda cannot find a reserved udp port that it can use.

The following occurred while compiling with the values you suggested:

Hi,

add "-with-tcpportrange=50000,50100 --with-udpportrange=512,1023" to whatever you have in your configure line. For example:

./configure --with-user=amandabackup --with-group=disk -with-tcpportrange=50000,50100 --with-udpportrange=512,1023

Run configure again and make install.

After configuring both the ta;e server and the client with the suggested portranges above

I got the  following:

14:46:02.501703 IP famrad.familyradio.org.47737 > familyserv.familyradio.org.amanda: UDP, length: 123 14:46:02.543577 IP familyserv.familyradio.org.amanda > famrad.familyradio.org.47737: UDP, length: 50 14:46:02.544603 IP familyserv.familyradio.org.amanda > famrad.familyradio.org.47737: UDP, length: 109 14:46:02.549035 IP famrad.familyradio.org.47737 > familyserv.familyradio.org.amanda: UDP, length: 50

Notice the reference to port 47737 which is outside the range(s) specified. I have a feeling I am doing

something really stupid!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is there a firewall in between? If it's iptables, you can tell by running "iptables -L".

The page below could be helpful too.

Kevin:

A properly configured Juniper-Networks firewall made no difference. I have noticed something else that might have a bearing. The version of Amanda-server software is 2.5.0p2 and the client software

is 2.4.5p1. (the latest FreeBSD ports versions).

Could this be the reason for this problem?

Possible, it's all depend how the FreeBSD Amanda client is configured.

On the client, do:
#amadmin config version |grep CONFIGURE_COMMAND

Hope this helps!
