<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi John, </DIV>
<DIV>thanks for the quick reply.</DIV>
<DIV>I will definitely modify the segment address to 127.0.0.1 , since I do have
one single machine on each side and plan to make use of only one
single daemon on each side.</DIV>
<DIV>About the communication issue: ping goes through without a problem, though
I am not sure which port that is. </DIV>
<DIV>I'll try sp_send and sp_recv and see if I can get some more clues about
which port is open and which not.</DIV>
<DIV>My suspect is that, since both machines are virtual servers, there sure is
one layer of firewall where things might get stopped. I have control of the
firewall of my server, but not of the box in which it runs.</DIV>
<DIV>I will need to bother tech support at both sites, but first I
need to understand what the problem is, otherwise ... they will simply
tell me that they do not support the use of spread ... ;-(</DIV>
<DIV>I will do some more digging with the sp_* tools and go from there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your help! If I manage to get it working, I'll post the solution
... </DIV>
<DIV>regards, </DIV>
<DIV>Paolo<BR></DIV>

between your two daemons is probably blocking their point-to-point traffic to
one another. The culprit could be any number of things, but is most
likely either a machine level or network level firewall somewhere in the
mix.<BR><BR>You need to make sure that the port number you pick X (3333), port
X + 1 and port X + 2 are all open for UDP traffic for all the daemons in your
configuration. You can try using sp_send and sp_recv to see if traffic
can flow on those ports at all between your machines. Or, you could try
some other more basic utility (ping?) to check the same thing.<BR><BR>PS - If
you are only going to have single machines in a segment, then set the segment
address to be 127.0.0.1 so they don't bother any other machines in their
subnet. If you are going to have multiple daemons within a subnet, then
use a multicast address (e.g. - 227.227.227.227) so that your daemons don't
needlessly bother uninvolved machines by using the network broadcast
address.<BR><BR>Cheers!<BR>John<BR><BR>---<BR><FONT color=#888888>John Lane
