asr multicast hangs at restoring

Hello All,

I’m attempting to test out asr mutlicasting. Right now I’m just trying to image one laptop as a test. I’ve created the image, ran it through the image check, started the asr multicast server and connected the client to it. The problem I’m having is that the client just sits at “Restoring”. I’ve left it for 2+ hours, and I’ve not seen any progress indicator in Terminal.

The server is a Mac Pro. Ethernet 2 is the network connection, shared out to Ethernet 1. Ethernet 1 is connected to the client. I wrote the following to a plist

defaults write /Users/administrator/Desktop/asr "Data Rate" -int 6000000
defaults write /Users/administrator/Desktop/asr "Multicast Address" 224.77.2.1

and started the server with the following command

asr -source /Users/administrator/Desktop/foobar.dmg -server /Users/foobar/Desktop/asr.plist -verbose

That command outputs the following

Multicast server configuration:
Data Rate: 6000000
Multicast Address: 224.77.2.1
Ready to start accepting clients
Starting stream Mon Nov 12 19:59:36 2007

On the client I used

asr -source asr://192.168.2.1 -target /dev/disk0s2 -erase -verbose

Which outputs

Validating target...done
Validating source...done
Erase contents of /dev/disk0s2 ()? [ny]: y
Erasing target device /dev/disk0s2...done
Retrieving scan information...done
Validating sizes...done
Restoring

That’s all the happens, the client never progresses as I’d expect it to. Any help?
