I know this is in the doco but: Connection refused! (dist. test)

[David Brown <da...@davidwbrown.name>]

Hello Peter, contributors, they who commit, gurus and JMeter users, I have set up 2 jmeter-server instances on a Windows XP and a Linux box. the serves are listening OK and the jmeter-log shows a connection attempt to run the distributed test from a JMeter Master which is on the same sub-net. I followed the Sergey Ten tips for the localhost (127.0.0.1) loopback problem but to no avail. I have turned off the firwalls on both the Windows box and the Linux box. I have edited the /etc/hosts files with the hostnames and IPs of client (Master) and the remote JMeters servers (Slaves). The JMeter Test Plan works OK from just the Run/Start menu but of course is failing as outlined from the Run/Remote Start All. The remote IPs show up in the Run/Remote pull-down as defined in the jmeter.properties file. I know the connection refusal is coming from the loopback but I don't know what to do the change this condition. What has changed? or what should I try next to resolve this connection i
 ssue? Logs, config and XML available to those interested. The particulars follow. Thanks in advance and please advise, David.
