  • 1.  Waiting for Clients to Connect...

    Posted Jun 05, 2007 02:40 PM
    I am using Ghost Suite 1.1 (Ghost 8.3). I have re-built machine using an Intel Pro 100 S Desktop Adapter. The PC itself is a DSR P4 2.66 Ghrtz.

    I have downloaded updated drivers for the client machine and I have installed the latest DOS drivers on the Ghost machine. I have created a new template for that DOS driver.

    I have installed Ghost client on the client PC.

    Ghost will not connect to the client. The console is open and I see the message: Waiting for clients to connect... in the lower left-hand corner.

    I have tried using the following switches: -noide -nousb -fro
    Data Transfer Mode is Unicast
    Data throughput limit is 500 MB/min
    I have made sure the Firewall is off on the client machine
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Ghost Client

    I am out of ideas on how to make this work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Try copying the .crt files from the ghost server to the client machine.  This should make them talk to each other.

    Located in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost\

    pubkey and privkey (should only need pubkey though, but it doesn't hurt :) )

    No dice - didn't work.

    I did notice that everytime I initialize the Create Image task, an hourglass appears on the client computer for just a second and then disappears. It looks like it's trying, but just isn't connecting.
