Hello.

First let me say that i am new to bacula and have little experience with Linux in general.

I managed to compile and install Bacula 7.0.4 on a virtual machine with ubuntu server 12.0.4.
I wanted to do some tests by using my actual machine (Windows 7 x64) as client, running bacula-fd 5.2.10 on it.

All the bacula components are running and server and client are connected (at least i can ping one machine from the other). I did the setup so that the client has the local IP 10.1.1.3 and the server uses the IP 10.1.1.2. (only for test purposes)

Whenever I try to run a job or check the status of the windows file daemon though, the director is unable to connect.
The firewall is not causing the problem. I even deactivated it for one test.
I checked the config multiple times and, how I understood it, it looked perfectly fine.

Here is part of the client config:
------------------------------------------
FileDaemon {        
  Name = Windows-fd
  FDport = 9102  
  WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
  Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}

Director {
  Name = ubuntu-dir
  Password = "baculaWindows"
}
------------------------------------------

And this is the corresponding part from the director config:
------------------------------------------
Director {
  Name = ubuntu-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
  Password = "baculaconsole"
  Messages = Daemon
}

Client {
  Name = Windows-fd
  Address = 10.1.1.3
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "baculaWindows"
  File Retention = 60 days
  Job Retention = 6 months
  AutoPrune = yes
}
------------------------------------------

I looked up various tutorials and am rather stuck here. Any help is highly appreciated.
