Hello Sebb, thanks for the speedy reply. Your right I do not see a page (bad choice of terms). But, I do see a very reasonable return for the telnet session connection to the slave:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet 192.168.1.2 1099 Trying 192.168.1.2... Connected to 192.168.1.2. Escape character is '^]'. I do the same thing when trying to <ping> an email server (SMTPd). I feel reasonably comfortable that I have no firewall or network issues. The 127.0.0.1 loopback is what the jmeter-server is looking for and even though I have introduced the JMETER_CMD_LINE_ARG as shown below I still get <Connection refused>. I have defined the HOST variable and placed it in jmeter-server.sh: HOST="-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.1.2" java $SERVER $JVM_ARGS -jar `dirname $0`/ApacheJMeter.jar $HOST -s "$@" The jmeter-server.log on the slave clearly shows the non-loopback host IP address was accepted and set the RMI hostname property accordingly. But, once the test starts it reverts back to the loopback address namely: 127.0.0.1 Logs: INFO jmeter.samplers.RemoteListenerWrapper: Test Started on 192.168.1.2 ERROR jmeter.samplers.RemoteLintenerWrapper: testStarted(host) java.rmi.ConnectException: connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1 My question is how does the loopback creep back into the process since JMeter has been configured to use another IP? Do I need to disable the loopback altogether at interface: lo? What more information or diagnostic may I perform to gather better informational help?
