[erlang-questions] net_adm:ping/1

[eigenfunction]

Hi everybody,
i habe been trying to rpc another node on the same machine, but that
node did not respond. I then tried this:

(
) > erl_epmd:names(localhost).
 {ok,[{test1,45555},{test2,49788}]}

(
) > net_adm:ping(
).
pang.

(
) > net_adm:ping(
).
pang.


Any Idea why it is not working?
