Hi Fabrice, Save yourself a lot of trouble, start the tests in batch mode on all machines time synchronised and then collate the results after the test and evaluate them. That's a lot safer and you can run more threads on one machine (no gui overhead). You can still unse the gui to design the tests and see if they run. A good tool to do the graps with is GNUplot.

We have followed the full procedure and did not succeed in set up the distributed testing. I saw in the forum that distributed testing is not working when having more than one nic in the servers. I have changed the binding order of the network cards to make the correct card and IP appear first, but still I have the same error.

Is there any way to work around this situtation? Due to the fact the server is hosted on a provider site , we can hardly ask provider to remove the other network cards from the server.
