What I would like to do is to set up communication between these 2 instances --<br>
<br>
C:> erl -name <a href="mailto:abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a> -setcookie erlide<br>
C:> erl -name <a href="mailto:xyz@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">xyz@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a> -setcookie erlide<br>
<br>
however, when I try --<br>
<br>
(<a href="mailto:abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a>)6><br>
net_adm:ping('<a href="mailto:xyz@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">xyz@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a>').<br>
pang<br>
(<a href="mailto:abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">abc@FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a>)7> nodes().<br>
[]<br>
<br>
I can successfully do this:-<br>
C:> ping -4 <a href="http://FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a><br>
C:> tracert <a href="http://FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com" target="_blank">FELIX.somedomainsomewhere.com</a><br>
which shows that the domain-name resolves fine.<br>
<br>
Instead of "-name" if I do the same experiment with "-sname" and drop<br>
the usage of host.FQDN, the result is same, i.e. a "pang" !<br>
<br>
How do I get it to ping successfully ?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I checked on my machine and I got the same problem between two Erlang nodes. The Java node connects fine because it doesn't care about a long name being a FQDN or not.</div>
