Hi,
 Please try the following,

1) Create a machinefile, mf.txt, with the following contents,

# XP node
192.168.33.69:1
# Vista node
192.168.33.68:1

2) Make sure helloCluster.exe is available in C:\temp on both the machines. 
3) Remove any usernames registered on the machines using the "-remove" option of mpiexec ("mpiexec -remove" on both the machines) and re-register a username/password available on both the machines (same user - with the same password - should be available on both the machines) using the "-register" option of mpiexec ("mpiexec -register" on both the machines).
   Validate the username/password registered using the "-validate" option of mpiexec ("mpiexec -validate" on both the machines).
4) Try running helloCluster.exe on both machines (XP & Vista) locally (mpiexec -n 2 helloCluster.exe)
5) Try running a non-MPI program like hostname on both the machines (mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt hostname)
6) Now try running helloCluster.exe on the cluster (mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt c:\temp\helloCluster.exe)

 Let us know the results.

(PS: If you get an error message please copy-paste it in your email)
Regards,
Jayesh

Subject: seek help on mpi- mpich

Hello,

I am new to mpich/mpi and I learn this by myself from the Internet to do my
research.
I've review the discussion mpich-discuss (
http://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/mpich-discuss/2010-July/007469.html)
been following the thread after thread and decided to email you if you could
help me on windows clustering using mpich2.

I'm doing on XP and Vista machine, 32 bit, mpich2 version
mpich2-1.2.1p1-win-ia32, it works on hello world program  for single node
(stand alone), but it does not run on multinode ( the nest machine). it says

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\myPar>mpiexec
-machinefile mf.pg helloCluster.exe
Master process rank#0 sending message ~Hello, world

the firewall already off. the machine file contains

#
192.168.33.69 0 /Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/myPar/  #
this is XP machine
192.168.33.68 1
/Users/Administrator/Documents/myPar/                                 #this
is Vista machine


please help me. what else considering i have to take to enable the
interaction between the nodes because after this i need to do it on 3,5, 8
machines.

thank you.
