Update.
I got PVM running on my laptop and successfully added one of my
servers to the hostlist using the command line at the pvm prompt.
This was over wireless.
The laptop was running pvm 3.4.5-7 rpm under CentOS 5. The other
machine had pvm 3.4.4 under CentOS 4.
The main bits seemed to be:
Getting PVM_ROOT=/usr/share/pvm3 and PVM_RSH=ssh set on both sides
(added to .bashrc). Checked by doing an 'ssh <remotemachine> export'
and verified contents.
Rob: do you do host-based authentication under ssh? I don't, so I
had to type in my passwords at the 'pvm>' prompt.
Sorry I can't offer anything more.

I have a home setup similar to yours - a WAP acting as a firewall,

I'll give it a check tonight to see if mine runs.
Q1: to you have DHCP giving a static address to your laptop based
upon it's MAC?
Q2: have you tried this with the PVM 3.4.4 RPMs (I think you
mentioned you were running 3.4.5)?

I can literally snap the same box onto a wire, wait for it to get
an IP
number on the wire, and rerun the experiment on the same hardware
and it
works perfectly (with a different but identically entered name, of
course). And it is the wireless name that corresponds with the
`hostname` (in /etc/sysconfig/network), not that this should
matter (and
it doesn't on the wire).
