As mentioned in the manual, giving information on what version of POX you're
using and posting the log (usually at debug level) is very helpful.
It sounds like the switches aren't connecting. One possibility with recent
versions of POX (maybe just dart) is that the OpenFlow component isn't running.
You might try adding "openflow" to your commandline explicitly.
