DPM storage server (2007) with not configure properly on desktop/workstation computers (running XP or Vista)Even if I turn off the firewall to complete a pushed install, when I try to browse the client to create a new backup set I just get the hourglass and then finally this: DPM cannot browse computer.network.local because the host is unreachable. 1) Make sure that computer.network.localis online and remotely accessible from the DPM server.2) If a firewall is enabled on computer.network.local, make sure that it is not blocking requests from the DPM server. ID: 31Details: The network path was not foundDoes anybody have any suggestions? I could understand if I had to open a few ports, but for the test I disabled the Windows firewall service....
