Why Can't My Networked Computers Connect for Mathematica Parallel Kernels?

[FunkyDwarf]

Hey guys,

I have MM7 setup on two networked computers (can see each other fine in network neighbourhood) but when i enabe remote services on both of them, neither see the other computer. Any ideas? =(

Cheers

I did something similar several years ago. I cannot remember the details, but I do remember that I was never able to get the daemon set up to work remotely. I had to log on to each computer and manually launch the slave kernels.

Hmm yeah i went and launched the parallel kernels on the host manually, didnt seem to help. I have a feeling its more a network issue though as I am getting some strange IP behaviour but i don't want to mess with it until i have time to fix stuff i break along the way =)
