On the client

telnet to ipaddress port of the storage

port=9103

If you get connection refused then there is a network problem or the
storage is not started. If not then you can connect.

Also depending on your configuration it may be a dns problem. Are you
using the external ipaddress of the storage in Address= part of
bacula-dir.conf for the storage resource or is this a FQDN
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FQDN)? If it is a FQDN can the client
resolve this?
