Receiving BB data from window client

I have the BB NT client running sending data from a windows 2003 host to 
the hobbit server. 

Running tcpdump I see data being sent from the window host, and then I see 
data received by the hobbit server host.

Data does not display on the web page and I can't locate the host centric 
data (disk/process/etc) anywhere on the hobbit server.

I have globs of UNICES reporting in fine.

Please advise,
Jim

Check if the server is listed in the "Ghost clients" report. 99% of the
time I see this problem, it is because the hostnames don't match between
what is in the bb-hosts file, and what the client reports. Most of the
time it is a mismatch between a plain hostname and a fully-qualified
domain name (Windows boxes tend to use the simple hostname).

Check your ghosts report.  If I remember it right, there is a setting on
the BB NT client where you can specify how it should identify itself
when it sends a message.  Of course, I am assuming that the BB NT client
is sending to the right server, there is a good path, etc., all that "is
it plugged in" stuff.
