[MPICH] MPICH2 1.0.6 inder Windows without DOMAIN

[Jayesh Krishna]

 Hi,
  The official documentation for MPICH2 on windows is available at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=do
cs .
  Please try the suggestions provided below and let us know the results
(Substitute the CAPITALIZED words in the commands below with the appropriate
names/values),

1) Make sure that any firewalls on both the machines are turned off and that
the machines are reachable from one another (ping).
2) Check the status of the process managers on both machines from the
machine where you launch your job,
   2.1) smpd -status
   2.2) smpd -status REMOTEHOSTIPADDRESS
3) Register the usernames and passwords on both the machines (mpiexec
-register ...)
4) Validate the username/password on both the machines from the machine
where you launch your job,
   4.1) mpiexec -validate -user USERNAME
   4.2) mpiexec -validate -user USERNAME -host HOSTNAME
  
Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,...

No succes putting the IP addresses instead the computer name.
In my opinion it is a problem with the user but I am not sure.
The documentation for windows it is not clear.
I found something in http://202.117.122.28/newindex/huchongwei/MPI.pdf but
it is not ufficial documention and say things diferent than the information
found in README.winbin.rtf

Where can I find ufficial documentation about MPICH2 under windows ?
