amrecover Problem

[Yogish]

Hi I am trying to get into amrecover on the server, but it says the connection refused. I typed 'amrecover -C normal -s localhost'. I have also entered the name of the host on .amandahosts. Can anyone suggest why this problem might be occuring. I am not sure if amanda uses the ethernet interface to do recover,if this is not the case, then it should not encpunter any problem with Firewall settings. wainting for replies Yogish
