[mpich-discuss] Problem with MPICH2 v1.0.8 on WindowsXP

[Ondrej Sluciak]

Hi,
No I have one user (Ondrej) on one computer, and the second (shrek) on 
the second computer. I can run a mpi program seperately on both 
machines, but they don't cooperate if I want them to compute something 
distributedly.
Anyway, I install virtual machines on both computer with linux and it 
works well. It is really not good solution, but at least I got it 
working...though the performance is certainly worse than if I had it 
naturally in Windows and not in virtual machines.
