It still sounds like a networking problem, but I don't have any concrete suggestions for what else to check.<br>
<br>
Perhaps others on the list have experienced these sorts of problems before and can offer ideas.<br>

In the MPI cluster, there are two hosts. If I run the two processes on just one host, everything works fine. But if I run two processes on the two-host cluster, the following error happens. I think the two hosts just can't send/receive message to each other, but I don't know how to resolve this.<br>
