Check to ensure that you have firewalls disabled between your two machines; that's a common cause of hanging (i.e., Open MPI is trying to open connections and/or send data between your two nodes, and the packets are getting black-holed at the other side).
Open MPI needs to be able to communicate on random TCP ports between all machines that will be used in MPI jobs.
