<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the quick response
Larry. Windows fire wall is off. I can ping the machines, and can
access the machines through explorer. The pass phrases are all the same
"behappy" and since it's all networked, my login and passwords are
the same. Just in case, I did run the smpd -register command to no
avail. We're attempting to work around the problem now by cloning one of
the working hard drives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the firewall first, you have to unblock the smpd service port. Beyond
that, you have to verify that smpd service is installed, and if it's
another host, you will either have to register a pass phrase, or your account
on the execution node to be able to continue. If your password ever
changes, you have to re-perform this step.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal>I've debugged as far as I can:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Invoking the command: mpiexec -validate -host myhost
returns:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Aborting: connection to smpd rejected<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Invoking mpiexec -file myfile returns:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Aborting: unable to connect to myhost<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some background.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>All computers are running Vista Ultimate. The
computers are connected by a 100mbs LAN. A few months ago, I set up 4
machines for this use. They all still connect without issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At this point I need to add some more, but am getting these
errors. All machines have smpd version 1.0.8. I am an administrator
on all machines, and installed Mpich2 as the administrator. UAC was
turned off and remains off, all known firewalls are also off. A path
variable to the bin directory was added.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I ran smpd -d and all of the parameters match those of the
working computers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What am I missing here? I appreciate your valuable
time.<o:p></o:p></p>
