Hello,<br>the problem, on my laptop (Win XP SP3, OTP/R14B3), can be simply replicated with starting two nodes with "short" long names and try to connect them:<br><br> c:\> erl -name a@a.b.c<br> (a@a.b.c)1><br><br>and<br><br> c:\> erl -name b@a.b.c<br> (b@a.b.c)1>net_adm:ping(a@a.b.c).<br> pang<br> (b@a.b.c)2>nodes().<br> [] -----> as expected after a 'pang'!<br><br>So Erlang doesn't seem to connect this way. But if you simply:<br><br> c:\> erl -name a@a.mydomain.com<br>
(a@a.mydomain.com)1><br><br> c:\> erl -name b@a.mydomain.com<br>
(b@a.mydomain.com)1>net_adm:ping(a@a.mydomain.com).<br> pong<br> (b@a.mydomain.com)1>nodes().<br> [a@a.mydomain.com] -----------> as expected after a 'pong'!<br><br><br>Really, no clue here, I've also checked standard rules for domain names: there is an upper limit (63 characters) but no lower limit, AFAIK.<br><br>Thanks in advance!<br><br>Vincent<br> </div></body>
