[Spread-users] Spread communication between Linux and Windows

[Wim Pessemier]

Hi,

I'm trying to run spread on a mixed network of Linux and Windows XP  
computers, but so far I cannot get it to work. When I start a spread  
server on a Windows computer (pollux) and then I start another one on  
the Linux computer (ankaa), it says:

| Version 4.00.00 Built 29/November/2006                                    |
\===========================================================================/
Conf_load_conf_file: using file: spread.conf
Successfully configured Segment 0 [10.33.178.255:4803] with 2 procs:
                       pollux: 10.33.178.208
                        ankaa: 10.33.178.81
Setting SO_REUSEADDR to always on -- make sure Spread daemon host is secured!
Finished configuration file.
Hash value for this configuration is: 3547312074
Conf_load_conf_file: My name: ankaa, id: 10.33.178.81, port: 4803
Membership id is ( 169980497, 1269531216)
--------------------
Configuration at ankaa is:
Num Segments 1
         1       10.33.178.255     4803
                 ankaa                   10.33.178.81
====================

So in the end only 'ankaa' (Linux) is found. If I connect with "spuser  
-s 4803 at pollux -r", then I get SP_error -8 (Connection closed by  
spread) as soon as a message is sent. When I do the same thing in the  
reverse order (first start Linux, then Windows) the same errors occur.

Both ankaa and pollux are present in the hosts files on Windows and  
Linux. In both cases v4.00.00 Built 29/November/2006 is used.

Is there anything special I need to do to get this to work?
I would be very grateful for all help!

Kind regards,

Wim
