Hello,

I have one client who's backup takes forever.
It starts the backup, but it's losing and reopening the session all the time. 
I opened pmr with tech support around two months ago, and after exchanging so many 
e-mails with them they told me I have a NETWORK PROBLEM, and I have to involve network 
group with sniffer. This answer I heard couple of times already. When they don't know 
what to do they say: "You have a network problem". When you ask them what to look for 
in network analysis they say we are not network debugging company.

Client: Win NT4 Server ; TSM Client 5.1.6.0 
Server: Win 2000 Server; TSM Server 5.1.7.2
Backup over WAN (Internet); Firewall on both sides; On my side (TSM Server; opened 
only port1500-works with all other clients; on his side NOT SURE?? ) 
Schedule running in Polling mode - Client contacts server

Already tried to change network card from Auto negotiation to 100 full-duplex; 
increased commtimeout to 120s and idletimeout to 20min
Tried to install TSM Client to one of the laptops in his office-same problem; so I do 
believe it is network problem; BUT WHAT??????
By the way, this client doesn't complain about any other network related issues. 
I suspect it has to do something with firewall on his side?????


This is a part of e-mail from tech support:
