I also recommend running mpirun with the option --mca btl_base_verbose 30 to troubleshoot tcp issues. In some environments, you need to explicitly tell mpirun what network interfaces it can use to reach the hosts. Read the following FAQ section for more information: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tcp Item 7 of the FAQ might be of special interest. Regards,
