<P><FONT SIZE=2> Hi,<BR>
The error message says that the job launcher, mpiexec, was not able to contact the process manager, smpd, running on machine2.<BR>
Make sure that you install MPICH2 on all the machines/hosts/nodes involved in the MPI job.<BR>
Also make sure that you disable windows firewall (or any 3rd party firewalls) on all the nodes. You can alternately refer to the section "Runtime environment --> firewalls" in the windows developer's guide (<A HREF="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=docs">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=docs</A>) to configure the windows firewall for MPICH2.<BR>
Let us know if it works for you.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Jayesh<BR>

Hi, Everybody, I am a new comer here and I am interested to know more about MPICH2.<BR>
<BR>
Here is what I came across when I was trying to run a MPI application across two Windows XP computers:<BR>
I use the command, machine 1 is my local machine and machin 2 is a remote one.<BR>
<BR>
mpiexec -hosts 2 machine1 machine2 myapp.exe<BR>
<BR>
Then the error message is:<BR>
MPIDU_Sock_Post_Connect<1228>: Unable to connect to machine2 on port 8676.<BR>
MPIDU_Sock_Post_Connect<1275>: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not actively respond after a period of time.<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone tell me how can I deal with it?<BR>
Thanks a lot.<BR>
<BR>
--<BR>
Thanks and Regards<BR>
Sincerely Yours<BR>
Jeffrey<BR>
