Hello all, I'm trying to get the win32 client up and running. I followed Kurt Yoder's instructions (below), but amcheck is still timing out. I'm almost certain that it has to do with the tcp/ip ports amanda is using. My server was compiled with the following: --with-portrange=50000,50100 --with-udpportrange=850,860
I'm running the win32 client with the following command: start amandad -tcp=50000,50100 -udp=850,860 -no-exit I've tried many permutations of that command, but with no luck. Any one have some insight on how to correctly specify tcp/udp ports to the win32 client?

Pointers? This is very true; I had to fiddle a bit to make it work. Here's what I did: -download the "amanda-clients-bin" latest zip file and unzip it -make a folder "usr" in one of your drives -move the amanda folder into it; path to binaries should be \usr\amanda\bin and so forth -copy pw32.8.dll from the "bin" folder to "libexec" and "sbin" folders -copy \usr\amanda\share\amanda-win32-clients\.amandahosts to \usr\amanda\etc\amanda\ -add your amanda master to the \usr\amanda\etc\amanda\.amandahosts -start your amanda test: run \usr\amanda\libexec\rc.amandad.bat (an empty dos window should pop up) -add entries to the amanda master's disklist; use the form "<hostname> /mnt_<drive letter> <dump-type>", one for each disk on each nt host; my disklist entry for my nt host looks like "gandalf /mnt_c user-tar", etc -run amcheck on the master, make sure you see the server connecting on the nt host; you should see its name show up in the window on the nt machine that rc.amandad.bat opened -if the test was successful, close rc.amandad.bat and install \usr\amanda\libexec\amandad.exe as a service named "amandad" (use srvany.exe from the nt resource kit for this); service should be a system account and start up automatically -suggested registry entries for the amandad service are in \usr\amanda\share\amanda\amandad.reg; double click on this file to install its keys -make sure the drive letter and path in the registry's hklm/system/ccs/services/amandad/parameters key matches where amandad.exe is actually installed -start up the amandad service > Two questions, does the W32 client anticipate the cygwin package > is installed on the M$ box?

Something about the PW32 environment (Posix > Win 32??). Are these set on the unix amanda server or on the > client when started from the service routines? I didn't set any environment variables on the NT machine.
