First things first. How did you install rsyncd on the server? Did you use
the cygwin-rsyncd package from the sourceforge site?

Odds are very good that you have a windows or other software firewall in
place. You need to punch a hole at port 873 for rsync to get through.
If you are using the cygwin-rsyncd package, I've found that windows server
2000 is usually friendly with the hosts allow = a.b.c.d/n notation, but
server 2003 usually insists that it is just the IP of the backuppc server.
Also, as listed above, try signing in to your backuppc box as the backuppc
user, and just try "rsync host::" The module part will be printed for you.
If "rsync host::" doesn't return anything, you aren't making a connection to
the windows box.
Peace,
Jim
