Problem connecting to fd on client server

Hello!

I am trying to set up a backup-job on a win 2008 server over internet. I
have done this successfully on two other servers, but I am having trouble
with this one.  Here’s the bacula-dir.config file on the clientserver (that
is to be backed up). The fd service is running on both backup-client/server.



#  For Bacula release 5.0.3 (08/05/10) -- Windows MinGW32
FileDaemon {                            # this is me
  Name = clientserver-fd
  FDport = 9102                # where we listen for the director
  WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
  Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
# Plugin Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"

  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
  Name = backupserver.domain.no-fd
  Password = "backupserver-fd-password”
}

#
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
#   status of the file daemon
#

Director {
  Name = client-mon
  Password = " backupserver-fd-password”
  Monitor = yes
}

# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
  Name = Standard
  director = backupserver.domain.no-fd = all, !skipped, !restored
}
I have checked the FD name (of the backupserver) and password in the
clientserver bacula-dir.config file many times, and it seems to be
correct. I have restarted the service many times on both the backupserver
and the clientserver. I have also reinstalled bacula on the clientserver.
 I thought that it could be a problem with the forwarding in the firewall
but when I ran an estimate command on the client-job I got the following
message:



Failed to connect to Client.

It looks as if the backupserver gets contact with the File Demon on the
client server but there is something going wrong with authentication. Also,
I can connect to the backupserver using bat and bconsole from the client
server. The only thing that doesn’t seem to work is to connect from the
backupserver to the clientservers file demon.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Best regards
Albin
