No, just the server nodes. > Does the server.rmi.port setting also need to be changed? No, that has the same effect.

Any pointers? Sorry, I forgot - you need to edit the jmeter-server script to tell rmiregistry to use the new port. E.g. in jmeter-server.bat, change: START rmiregistry to START rmiregistry 12345 (or the equivalent for Unix). And of course you also need to add the appropriate remote_host entry for the client, e.g. remote_hosts=hostname:12345 == To recap: The client needs to know how to contact the server; this is done by changing remote_hosts. The RMI registry needs to be told to use the port; this is by providing the port on the command line. The server needs to be told how to bind to the registry; this is done by changing server_port. But if the default port is used, of course none of this is necessary as they all know to use 1099. > Thanks again, I'm in the process of updating the documentation, so it's useful to be reminded that these bits are missing ... [and it needs to be easier to change the rmiregistry port...] There's just one other thing - although the initial connection will be made using port 1099 or port 80, the return messages will, I think, use a different port. Also, check the logs both ends. If there are any firewalls etc in the way, they need to be able to detect the incoming connection, and allow the responses. I think this is what is meant by a stateful firewall. Let me know if these instructions work (or not).
