Re: [BackupPC-users] Actually, no DHCP hosts are working

[Johnny L. W. <jo...@ma...>]

Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be? This host still
isn't working, and I still can't find any good reason why it's not
working. Pinging the machine works just fine, nmblookup produces the
results below, yet the machine isn't being backed up, and the last error
is always 'no ping'. Presently, it's listed as having failed 37
consecutive times, but I can verify that it shouldn't fail.

Ideas?
