Running program between two computers #52

Closed jpmcruz closed 4 years ago

jpmcruz commented 6 years ago

We tried running the millionaire_prob in two terminals in one virtual machine in the same computer, and it works okay. Then, we tried running the millionaire_prob between two virtual machines in the same computer, and it works okay. But, we cannot successfully run the millionaire_prob between two computers (comp 1 and comp 2) connected by LAN.

comp 1 has the following details: IP Address - 192...001 Port - default

comp 2 has the following details: IP Address - 192...002 Port - default

If we want to run the millionaires problem on these computers (comp 1 as server, comp 2 as client) what should be the syntax on both computers?

When we type "./millionaire_prob.exe -r 0 -a 192...001" in a terminal in comp 1 and "./millionaire_prob.exe -r 1 -a 192...001" in a terminal in comp 2, both terminals do not return anything and run indefinitely.

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried running millionaire_prob.exe on 2 separate machines in our network and the code worked just fine.

What you could check: You need to make sure that communication through the port (default: 7766) is working. Also, the IP-address that you specify with -a must be the one of the server (-r 0).

Does that help you?

I will have a look at this, thank you!
