Networker Client on Netware can not find Networker Server

Networker Client for Netware: V7.2.1
NetWare Server: V6.5

Networker Server: V7.3.1 on Win2003 Server

The client and the server sit on separate subnets.

The networker server host name is in the NETWORKR.INI in the root of the SYS Volume
I have added the HOST Name and IP Address into the HOSTS file
I can ping the server from the client, and vice versa.
I can perform a NSLOOKUP on both client and server, all ok.

when I try and load NETWORKR I get the following messages:
* Initialising ....
* No Networker Server found

The client is configured on the Networker server

This is a fresh install, perform by following the install guide using WINREMOT

Any ideas or information on why this is occuring would be greatly appreciated.

    I´m not sure if netware backup is work on NW 7.3, you need to confirm with EMC support.
    Once I need to downgrade NW server to work with netware.

    Our other Netware servers on the same subnet work just fine.

    I have no idea to be honest. On UNIX/Linux and Windows system there is command called rpcinfo which you usually use to test this - not sure if NetWare has one. Nevertheless you can have test from server side: rpcinfo -p .

    How do you perform an RPC test?

    EMC Support have advised that the V7.x still uses the INI file.

    Is there a way for you to test RPC communication from NetWare box? While I have no knowledge of NetWare client, are you sure that 7.x based versions also use ini file? I'm just wondering that as I could not find reference to them in 7.x docs (for 4.x I know those were used).

    When I typed the above RPCINFO command on the Networker server, I got the following response:

    rpcinfo: can't connect portmapper: Remote system error - Connection Refused

    I'm not sure if you get this error if no RPC service is running, but I guess there should be RPC service running on NetWare box (at least this is how it is with other boxes). Of course, firewall if somewhere out there could be issue to. I guess you get slightly different output when doing that command against already existing and working NetWare boxes (they should show at least NSR service).
