Dear developers, We want to start MPD daemons on 2 different subnets: for example, subnet #1 192.168.0.0/24 and subnet #2: 192.168.1.0/24 The two subnets are connected via switches and they can talk to each other. Next, we'd start MPD daemons on two nodes: Node #1 (in subnet #1): (hostname:node_001) IP=192.168.0.1 Node #2 (in subnet #2): (hostname:node_002) IP=192.168.1.1 We used the following commands: on Node #1: mpd --ifhn=192.168.0.1 --daemon (daemon is successfully started on node_001) on Node #2: mpd -h node_001 -p <node1's_port_number> --ifhn=192.168.1.1 --daemon (daemon cannot be started on Node #2. there is no error message, we use "mpdtrace" to check on Node #1, it shows no daemon started on Node #2 ) Node #2 cannot join the ring that is generated by node #1. How should we do? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Na Zhang -- Na Zhang, Ph.D. Candidate Dept. of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Stony Brook University Phone: 631-838-3205
