Maybe that is one of the problems I was having when I was trying to install 2.2 on a disconnected Windows laptop. I was getting strange host values like '2' when the venue server was starting up.
What requirements are there for a full network connection? What requirements for a connection to a DNS server? It seems that it should be possible to install and run all of 2.2 on a standalone machine - I seem to remember being able to do 2.1.2 that way. Is setting the GLOBUS_HOSTNAME manually one of the items that would be necessary? -randy On Fri, 18 Jun 2004, Robert Olson wrote: > If it is set, it overrides any local determination of hostname.
