[mpich-discuss] mpdtrace cannot connect (cygwin & mpd), previous smpd remnants?

[Jayesh Krishna]

 Hi,
  Is your windows firewall turned on ? (If yes, 1. Stop any instances of mpd
running 2. Stop firewall 3.Try running "mpd&" & "mpiexec -n 1
/bin/hostname".)
  Can you see mpd running in the windows Task Manager ?

Regards,
Jayesh

Further detail:

mpdcheck -s

in one cygwin window, plus

mpdcheck -c computername portnumber

in another cygwin window actually produce the output as shown in the
installation guide
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/files/mpich2-d
oc-install.pdf
in Appendix A.1.1., page 28 bottom, page 29 top. It's just mpdtrace and also
things like mpiexec -n 1 /bin/hostname which do not work and bring back the
response that mpd cannot be reached.

So I figure it's not a network / port problem?

Cheers,
Ingo
