Verify that the nvr_xfer service is running on both the source and destination.
Check that the required ports are open and accessible from each machine:
on destination machine
telnet <source_machine_name/ip_addr> 53478
telnet <source_machine_name/ip_addr> 53479
on source machine
telnet <destination_machine_name/ip_addr> 53478
telnet <destination_machine_name/ip_addr> 53479
if the telnet fails to the port but you can ping the machine and dns resolves then check any intervening firewall configuration and that the required ports are open.
Failure of telnet will shows as:
Connecting To server_name...Could not open connection to the host, on port 53478: Connect failed
Success of telnet will show an open telnet session with no text.
