Same problem as Anna here. Windows 7 64-bit. Running R 2.13.0. snow + snowfall installed.
Testing: library(snow) library(snowfall) sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=2, type="SOCK") Then R spins forever (yes, I disabled the Windows firewall). On the same box, tried the same on Ubuntu under Virtualbox. No problem. Runs well. Any suggestions/ideas appreciated.
