I have tried adding

<setting name="hostname" value="server.network.com" />

into the bbwin config file, restarted the service, but still nothing to report...

you need to set the hostname in the registry then restart the bbwin. the hostname can be modified in HKLM\Software\BBWin.

Is there anything appearing in ghost clients on the server?

Regards

Graeme

There is no reg key under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\BBWin

The reg key for x64 is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BBWin

and I have modified the hostname to match the host name in bb-hosts

Restarted service and still no reporting..;)

Banging my head against a wall because all of you say it works...

My immediate thought is a name resolution problem on the client. Can you ping from the client to the Xymon server using the same server name as in the BBWin config file.

Nope...ghost clients are empty and nothing is being reported from the clients...

I have bb-hosts setup with the host name and ip so BB is doing its conn tests and other things like !ftp and !telnet but no client data is being reported...

Can you ping? Is there a firewall in the way? To state the obvious either something is stopping the data being generated, getting out or it is getting lost along the way. Is it possible it has something to do with the rights of the account the service is running under? To narrow it down further may need to put sniffer on it to have a look at the packets themselves.

Hope this helps

Did you read my guide at http://system.keilir.net/windows.html ? It explains exactly what you need to do get it working on 64bit windows (tested on server 2003 and 2008)

And is the BBwin service running? Otherwise you have to start it with "net start bbwin".

I did use your guide and have set my registry AND hostname in the bb config file.

I can ping the server and DNS resolves ok.

Im in the process of capturing packets to find out if anything is actually being sent from the client

It is actually very refreshing to read messages that are terse, exact and to the point. There was absolutely no need for the user to resend all the messages that already have been sent in this thread and that may or may not have been relevant to the users text.

It is simply common sense to cut away irrelevant sections of the previous messages, and to include only the parts that are relevant to ones own message.

Also what does the following type of posting actually do for the reader:

A: Because people read from top to bottom. Q: Why is top posting bad?
