How to run distributed Erlang through a firewall?

[Tony Zheng]

Hi Chandru

As you suggested, I used application:get_all_env(kernel) to check the
return value. It seems it is correct to set up the env parameters for
port number. But erlang node still gave a dynamic port number. How can I
make it to take effect? Thanks. 

    (one@REDACTED)1> application:get_all_env(kernel).
    [{inet_dist_listen_min,9100},
     {included_applications,[]},
     {inet_dist_listen_max,9101},
     {error_logger,tty}]
    (one@REDACTED)2> net_adm:names().
    {ok,[{"one",49062}]}


Best regards

tony
