"conection refused problem"
 

Friends:
I am going to perform the parallel computation on my computer employing the mpich. But the fisrt thing to do is to make rsh work.
I have set my IP as "192.168.0.1" and submask as '255.255.255.0', and my hostname is "dp'. when i ernter the command "rsh dp" , it gives the information about "conection refused".
Would you please tell me how to make rsh work , need i to set the gateway. or something else.
yours Sincerely.

For my pennies worth, it sounds like the computer can not resolve dp.
Have you tried rsh <ip_address>

Just a thought.

yes , i have tried. Is seems like that we should open the rsh service. but how to start it.

Try
chkconfig --list | grep rsh

It may return the daemon as rshd.

If it does
chkconfig rsh(d) on
service rsh(d) start
