It works just fine here.
You have to start up 2 instances of erlang. Here's how I do it under
cygwin.
(1) Start up 1 instance like this:
werl -sname pong
then compile the tutorial
c(tut17).
and run it
tut17:start_pong().
(2) Start up the other instance:
werl -sname ping
and then run
tut17([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
where 'ab2kt' is the hostname of my Windows machine. [You can find that
out by running
node().
on the machine in question.]
It runs perfectly on an HP laptop using XP SP2.
What's the issue?
