Andrew,

    Both sides of the connection need to be able to resolve each other.
Make sure the agent can resolve the console.

  I am having a few problems with System Scanner 4.0.
  I am trying to get the agents running on a few boxes to perform a scan
from a console.
  However, when I try to create an agent from the console, I get the
following error message:
  Poll of servername failed: Failed to connect to agent
  I can ping the agent box, have an entry for it in my hosts file, etc.
  I have tried copying the certificate files from the SSL directory to the
SSL directory on the agent. This produced inconsistent results. First time I
did it, it gave me the same error messageas above. The next time (on the
same box) it started generating another certificate (no error message), but
failed to complete- just kept going for almost an hour.
  Since then, no luck- just keeps giving back the Poll of servername failed:
Failed to connect to agent message.
  Any ideas on what I can try?
  Thanks,
  Andrew
