RALUS: can see target but cannot connect to browse

Hi
I have just installed backup exec 2010 (trial) and also the RALUS on two linux machines, both FC4. The main backup exec server is an XP box, and now that I've installed RALUS on both linux machines I can see their names in backup exec 2010. One of the machines I can browse when creating a selection list, all seems good. However when I try to expand the box for the other machine, after a fairly long wait I'm informed that "An error was encountered when trying to browse the contents of linux_box . A network connection to the server could not be established".
I've opened ports 10000 and 8192 on the 'server', and even tried with the firewall disabled on that box. Still the same result.
Licencing seems ok as it's a trial, and the other box is fine.
Your help most gratefully received!

are you able to ping from

are you able to ping from both ends on that server. Also make sure port 10000 is not is use by some other program on that particular server. I hope you are using the right root account for the server to connect.

Yes I can ping each machine

Yes I can ping each machine from the other. Port 10000 was in use by webmin, I 1) changed the port webmin uses and 2) disabled webmin for the purposes of testing. Still no joy.
root login is the same on both linux boxes.

Wierd....Found that we can

Wierd....Found that we can connect when manually running beremote --log-console or --log-file. Changing the startup script to output a log to /dev/null does the trick. No idea why though.
