I have tried hostname and ipaddress both.<BR>
<BR>
I attached the spmd and mpiexec logs from one of my computer.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>

Please provide as much information in your email as possible. Did you try using machine file with ipaddresses (instead of hostnames)?<BR>

>> But from one remote I have to use ipaddress to start remote<BR>
process...<BR>
<BR>
So did you try running cpi by specifying ipaddresses ? Also let us know<BR>
whether the "-machinefile" option works for you (make sure that you<BR>
specify ipaddresses of the machines in your machine file).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

I can run cpi on both remote computers with -hosts 1, but not two<BR>
computers at same time. But from one remote I have to use ipaddress to<BR>
start remote process.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I turned off firewall completely, still the same problem.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I found the cpi.exe processes are already started in both computers<BR>
(remote and local).<BR>

1) Did you try executing cpi.exe remotely from both the machines<BR>
(mpiexec -hosts 1 remotecomputer... from both the machines)?<BR>
<BR>
2) Do you have any windows firewall or third party firewall running on<BR>
your machine (turn it off if its running)?<BR>
<BR>
3) Try specifying the ipaddresses of machines (Due to DNS config issues<BR>
one host may not be able to resolve the other hosts name) instead of<BR>
hostnames.<BR>
<BR>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Did you recently upgrade to the latest version of MPICH2 (1.0.8)?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
(PS: I just verified that I can run cpi across two Win XP machines using<BR>
a machinefile or the "-hosts" option.)<BR>
<BR>
