Hi,

>> Credentials for USER-PC\WIN 7 rejected connecting to user-PC
>> Aborting: Unable to connect to user-PC

 From the error message it looks like you haven't registered a valid username/password with mpiexec. Please register a valid Windows username/password with mpiexec using the "-register" option (Type "mpiexec -register" at the command prompt and mpiexec will prompt you for the username/password). Once the registration is complete validate it using the "-validate" option (Type "mpiexec -validate" at the command prompt). If you have registered a valid Windows username/password the validate option should return SUCCESS.
 Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi Jayesh, 


I am trying to running parallel FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator) via 2 PC by using a config file 


here is my config file 

exe "C:\Program Files\FDS\FDS5\bin\fds5_mpi_win_64.exe" "ParadigmV4-13.fds" 
wdir "\\USER-PC\Project\Paradigm\" 
hosts 
user-PC 6 
WIN7-PC 6 


This is the error message I got from the command prompt. 

C:\>mpiexec -file config.txt 
Credentials for USER-PC\WIN 7 rejected connecting to user-PC 
Aborting: Unable to connect to user-PC 


I used a cross over cable to connect both PCs and I think my setting for the IP address is correct as I can ping each other computer in the command prompt. 
I tried to turned off both firewall but it failed. 
Thanks, 


Regards, 
Koh
