It looks like you have a DNS problem on the server.  What is your
domain name and can you do:

       nslookup server.some.domain

and have it return correct results.  Check that in your configuration
file(s) that you aren't using 'client' on the server end, but
'server.some.domain' on the client end, or visa-versa.  It might be
just a simple oversight.  Also, compare it with a working client to
see what's different.  Maybe you can see the difference when you
compare the configs side by side, line by line.

It would help if you could show the actual commands and log file
entries.  Also look at /etc/* config files (since you're probably on a
unix/linux system for the server) and make sure DNS in
/etc/resolv.conf is setup properly.  

Showing how you run a job on working windows 7 client compared to this
broken one would also be good.
