Backup for Workgroups - Support - Connection and Firewall issuesAfter installing the Backup Client, it will ask you for the name of the computer running the Data Repository Manager, the name of the Account you assigned to this client and its password. When you enter the account information, the Backup Client will connect to the Data Repository Manager using TCP/IP. There are two common problems that can occur when the client tries to log into the Data Repository. The first common problem is that there is a firewall installed at the Data Repository that is preventing the Data Repository from accepting TCP/IP connections from the Backup Client. The other common problem is that the name of the Backup Client account is incorrect or its password is wrong. To tell which of these common errors is occurring you can use the Test Login button. When you press the Test Login button, you will see a dialog that will list tasks the backup performs when logging into the Data Repository.

Take a look at the lower left hand corner of the Data Repository Manager. The lower left hand corner will show the name of this computer. Now go to the Backup Client to the Account Information screen and make sure the top field has the same name as the name of the computer running the Data Repository Manager. If the computer name is correct for the Data Repository Manager the next step is to check for a firewall at the computer running the Data Repository Manager.
