Stepper moving in only one direction

I have my stepper wired up correctly(I think/hope/maybe not) When using stepconf or after loading up the example and doing individual steps I can turn my stepper clockwise clicking the + 10 times yields the following results:

1,2,3,4,no step,6,7,8,9,no step

When I click the - 10 times I get the following movement:

right,left,right,left,so step,right,left,right,left,no step

I have a bi-polar stepper wired up as a unipolar.

Only testing one axis now as I assume the other two would act the same.

Thank you

you have an incorrect phase somewhere , or one phase reversed
without the wiring diagram it's difficult to pin point further ,

if you can give information as to your stepper motor and stepper driver and wiring we can advise further
