How many network interfaces do you have on these nodes?  Aside from loopback, 
are all network interfaces reachable from all others?  (that isn't an absolute 
requirement, but it's easy to talk about if they're all reachable from all 
others)

Use the btl_if_include MCA parameter.  For example:

  mpirun --mca btl_if_include eth1,eth2 -np 8 --hostfile foo my_mpi_program

Hopefully eth1 and eth2 are the same on both hosts (i.e., eth1 on hostA is 
reachable by eth1 on hostB; ditto for eth2).

See the FAQ for more details on other ways of setting MCA parameters 
(environment vars, files, etc.).
