Hi, copy and paste from a dos window (on XP)

/Lennart


C:\Program Files\erl5.6\erts-5.6\bin>epmd -help
usage: epmd [-d|-debug] [DbgExtra...] [-port No] [-daemon]
            [-d|-debug] [-port No] [-names|-kill]

See the Erlang epmd manual page for info about the usage.
The -port and DbgExtra options are

    -port No
        Let epmd listen to another port than default 4369
    -d
    -debug
        Enable debugging. This will give a log to
        the standard error stream. It will shorten
        the number of saved used node names to 5.

        If you give more than one debug flag you may
        get more debugging information.

    -packet_timout Seconds
        Set the number of seconds a connection can be
        inactive before epmd times out and closes the
        connection (default 60).

    -delay_accept Seconds
        To simulate a busy server you can insert a
        delay between epmd gets notified about that
        a new connection is requested and when the
        connections gets accepted.

    -delay_write Seconds
        Also a simulation of a busy server. Inserts
        a delay before a reply is sent.

C:\Program Files\erl5.6\erts-5.6\bin>epmd -names
epmd: Cannot connect to local epmd


THIS SINCE EPMD IS NOT RUNNING
I START A DISTRIBUTED ERLANG NODE - USING THE RUN COMMAND AND -sname foo2


C:\Program Files\erl5.6\erts-5.6\bin>epmd -names
epmd: up and running on port 4369 with data:
name foo2 at port 1148

C:\Program Files\erl5.6\erts-5.6\bin>

hi - hmmmm on my windows xp box (where everything works fine) i did
not have to run an epmd
=> by the way - what is the epmd for - sounds like some kind of unix
style daemon ?
=> do i need to run an epmd ? if so - how ?
=> so for me it looks like that vista somehow blocks registering of
erlang node
=> i already turned off all the firewalls ...
has anyone any experience with erlang on vista ?
