>Now i am confused here, when i can get the ip address using command line, why can't backuppc find the ip address ?

An update on this. Seeing it not working, i tried to run it via command line (as user backuppc)

   BackupPC_dump -v comp-076

           MAC Address = 00-19-D1-19-49-DE


   NetBiosInfoGet: success, returning host comp-076, user
   full backup started for directory docs
   started full dump, share=docs
   Connected to 172.20.196.251:873, remote version 29
   Negotiated protocol version 28
   Connected to module docs
   Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner
   --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048
   --recursive --ignore-times . .


After the above, the backup started. So again when it can find the machine via command line, why not when i try it via the interface ?

Thanks and Regards,
