Tweek the firewalls on both the server and client, otherwise they won't communicate. Interestingly, Symantec 10 uses TCP port exceptions, 9 uses UDP exceptions. The SAVCE 10 Installation Guide tells how to set port exceptions. And this document gives the needed service exceptions -- http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/529c2f9adcf33a1088256e22005026f1/c8a0afb2b2c7ba5f88256ec90058bf0a?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam -- Richard Ivans [log in to unmask] 517-432-7270 --- Most Wanted Terrorists: http://www.fbi.gov/mostwant/terrorists/fugitives.htm
