Hello everyone.

I am having a problem with my Norton Ghostcast server. This is the newest Norton Ghost available now. Let me explain the steps I am taking in detail...

I created a network bootdisk which I put on my pen drive (these computers are touchscreens so they only have USB ports). I made sure it has the right NDIS NIC drivers and I got the client to boot up perfectly.

When I start up the Ghostcast Server, I click on "Create an Image" and set the session name to say "abcd". I make sure to have a spot to save the incoming image and yes, I do click "Accept Clients".

So now I have my Ghostcast server with a session name, a place to save the file, and all ready by clicking "Accept Clients" but whenever I type in "abcd" as my session name into the client it initializes the network drivers, pulls an IP just fine, but then cannot connect to the session giving me an error of "10030".

Now I am VERY stumped at this point. I can ping the client from my server although I am receiving a lot of latency but I am still pinging. If I boot up the server with my Network Bootdisk I can get the two of them to talk perfectly via Peer-to-Peer TCP/IP.

We do have a domain out here. Would I have to add my Ghostcast server to the domain to grant it access to communicate properly since it is a Windows application?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll be checking this often so to provide quick replies to any ideas anyone has.

Appears no one else had much of an idea, but I think I got it going.

Turns out McAfee 8.x takes its job very seriously and loves to block anything that looks threatening. A simple port exclusion does the trick really well.
