Hi, Thanks for your hints Jeff. I've just tried without any firewalls on involved machines, but the issue remains.
# /etc/init.d/ip6tables status ip6tables: Firewall is not running. # /etc/init.d/iptables status iptables: Firewall is not running. The machines have the host names "node1", "node2" and "node3". I launch the basic program on one machine, asking node1 and node2 to be hosts. Typing `netstat -a | grep node1` from node2 shows me that node1 and node2 are connected by tcp, as the connection is marked as ESTABLISHED. I have the same thing when I do `netstat -a | grep node2` from node1. However, the program keeps blocking. What else could provoke that failure ? -- Benjamin BOUVIER ________________________________________ To start, I would ensure that all firewalling (e.g., iptables) is disabled on all machines involved.
