[jboss-user] cluster problem

Greetings, I'm having a weird problem with jboss4 under freebsd7 amd64 I'm trying to get two instances of jboss4 to run on two servers in cluster mode. The problem is that when they try to exchange the TreeCache it just does not work. I'm getting this error message (on the server that is launched second) : ------------------------------------------------------- GMS: address is 192.168.2.188:58346 ------------------------------------------------------- 18:26:44,311 INFO [TreeCache] viewAccepted(): [192.168.3.202:54013|1] [192.168.3.202:54013, 192.168.2.188:58346] 18:26:44,322 INFO [TreeCache]

keep alive time for sockets. I tried both but still no joy. Any ideas what's going wrong and how to get the cluster up and running? P.S. sorry if this is not the proper list, and let me know where is best place to forward my questions. -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
