I've now configured my server and client to user static-ip's My server(Linux) has an ip with 192.168.1.2 My client(also linux) has an ip with 192.168.1.3
I've set the option in hosts file from 1 to 0 (for static ip) Well applying the command gives me: **************************************************************** backu...@fatih-pardus bin $ ./BackupPC_dump -v -f -d 192.168.1.3 cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 192.168.1.3 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.94 ms --- 192.168.1.3 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 1 received, 50% packet loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.940/1.940/1.940/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 192.168.1.3 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.80 ms --- 192.168.1.3 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.807/1.807/1.807/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 1.807 cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/nmblookup -A 192.168.1.3 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output Looking up status of 192.168.1.3 No reply from 192.168.1.3 NetBiosInfoGet: failed: can't parse return string Exiting because NetBiosInfoGet(192.168.1.3) returned '', an invalid host name backu...@fatih-pardus bin $ nmblookup -A 192.168.1.3 Looking up status of 192.168.1.3 No reply from 192.168.1.3 **************************************************************** I've no software firewall installed, nor i have a Hardwadre firewall. I've locked at my router, which is Linksysy Wag325N, all firewall options are disabled. There must be a way to solve it, something is corrupting my config but I don't no what is it. I've searced for "Linksys Wag325n netbios" but i didn't any solution.
