<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>

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>
I turned off firewall completely, still the same problem.<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>

Hi,<br>

Did you recently upgrade to the latest version of MPICH2 (1.0.8)?<br>
<br>

(PS: I just verified that I can run cpi across two Win XP machines using<br>
