Try to use server Ip address instead of netbios name during installation i.e

Also you can look at following article http://support.hostingc...ction=kb&article=289

If these steps didn't help then mention your linux/windows OS version, secondly are you using any firewall in both machien ?

I disabled the fire walls on both machines and selinux

Yes it worked with the IP address

Execuse me but I want to clarify some thing whats  the client IP address on this message is it the IP of the linux controller server plus the other linux clients you want to add ?

Enter IP address of client HostingController machine

Well after the installation went succesfully I tried to add the server to the cluster from the gui or the server manager on the main windows controller  but I got the error message

Error : 73400290 : Unable to add Server in the Cluster; no Registered Server found.
