Along the lines of what Ben and Bryan suggested, what are you using to verify ports are open? If you do something like:
node1$ nc -zv node2 9042 node2$ nc -zv node1 9042 does it succeed from both nodes? Does the first node 'know' that it is a seed? i.e. do you have first node listed in its own seed's list? What does the system.log show as both nodes are spun up? On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 7:20 PM, Bryan Cheng <br...@blockcypher.com> wrote: > > > >> On Wed, 3 Feb 2016 at 11:49 Richard L.
