Hi,

I installed MPICH2 on 2 64-bit Linux machines under my home directory.
The firewall of both machines is turned on.
When I ran a program across these 2 machines, I got an error message such as
"abort: unable to connect to xxx".
So I checked with the system administrator and he enabled 11 TCP ports for
me to use.
The port range is from 12505 to 12515.
Also, I set the MPICH_PORT_RANGE environment variable with the above range.
However, I still got the same error message as mentioned before.
So, how to fix this problem?

Thank you very much,
