Ghost problems

[Forsaken_Saint]

We are attempting to reimage a machine at my job. We are running Ghost 7.5 Multicast server on our laptop which is connected to the Receiver PC through a switch. We run a hotwire into the switch so they can get IP addresses from our DHCP and then unplug the hotwire just before transfer of image to decrease Bandwidth congestion.

This normally works but lately on the last 3 machines I have tried I come up with the following error "Check that Ghostcast server is ready to accept clients" it of course is.

I have switched Laptop servers, reinstalled ghost, created new bootdisks, changed switches cables, even the target PC.

What am i missing?

Cliffs-
1. Ghost no worky
2. Changed out every piece of equip and software involved
3. Pulling hair and teeth out.

are you sure your typing the right sever name in the ghost client?
try to specify the server name and IP address.

My parter who put our Anti-virus on the machine enabled port blocking and didnt make an exception for Ghostcast server....

I don't see that being in anyway Ghost's fault. I've been using Norton Ghost for 7 years now. If there's one product that is truly a godsend, it's been Ghost.

I hope so, if you keep looking after you found the problem then you have other issues. (and not computer ones)

yeah, i have been using it for awhile, i will promis by it for pushing images, but not as a backup software solution, i was able to restore everything from backup but i still found it strange that it whipped everything.
