We've got the same problem!

At COLIVRI (Co-Laboratory of Interaction, Visualisation, Robotics, and Automation), we have a linux cluster +multicast. That's why we don't utilise a bridge.

We utilise AG 3.1 (on Windows XP) for our nodes outside of the university campus.

Cheers,

When you click on the enable button, it disappears and doesn’t enable it.
 
Cheers,

Hi Guys
 
I have stumbled across a bug for windows users of the Access Grid (3.2) software – which has been confirmed on Windows XP and 7.
 
Windows users are unable to enable a Unicast Bridge that is currently listed as "disabled".  Normally you would (this works for Mac and Linux) open up Tools -> Preferences -> Bridging, select a bridge, right click on the “disable” text and select enable.  This doesn't work on either Windows XP or Windows 7.
 
Bug has been logged via bugzilla (Bug 1975).
 
There is a work around, which is to edit the following text file manually:
 
Windows XP:     C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\AccessGrid3\Caches
Windows 7:        C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\AccessGrid3\Caches
 
and manually edit the bridges file (using wordpad is fine).
 
Simply locate the desired bridges, based upon "name" and change the status to "Enabled".  Save the file and these bridges should then be listed.  An example is listed below:
 
[82664eb260b41608a24968d14787fc3a]
status = Enabled
name = APAG
portMax = 52000
serverType = QuickBridge
rank = 0.0320000648499
host = vv3.ap-accessgrid.org
portMin = 50000
userRank = 3.0
port = 20000
description =
 
I have documented this work around at http://www.accessgrid.org/node/2566 
 
Hope this helps others.
 
Regards,
Jason.
