If I read the build files correctly the problem is that your Windows XP build file is trying to execute a task on the remote ANT (on the linux) that does not exist.
The WinXP target named = "exec.task.on.remote.ant.server" is trying to run the target named = "task.on.remote.machine" but I don't see such named target in the Linux build file. You have a target with name on the WinXP build file but it needs to be in th remote build file (or in a build file that reachable from the remote build file) Ninju --- Chad Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > I'm having problems getting AntServer and > RemoteAnt to run > successfully.
