You are not a client of any NetWorker server

Problem:

"networker user" on my Windows machine gives me an error message that "You are not a client of any NetWorker server"

Solution:

  • The user needs to add a "-s thor.whoi.edu" to the command line to start the networker user program.
  • To do it, go to start menu --> programs --> Networker; right-click on the Networker User program and select properties.
  • The first link is called target and has something like "C:\Programs...\NWUSER.exe".
  • You need to add a -s thor.whoi.edu AFTER the closing doublequote.
  • Click Apply, and now it should work.
