Please, send output for both machines, so we could compare.
I'd also suggest to configure the interfaces statically to exclude the
influence of DHCP.

Hi,
It seems that your problem comes from some kind of
firewall/filter/antivirus that is installed on one machine but not the
others.
In order for us to get more information, please do the
followings:
1) Delete the arp tables on both machines (run "arp -d"), than
start wireshark on both and ping from machine a to b.
2) Delete the arp tables on both machines (run "arp -d"), than
start wireshark on both and ping from machine b to a.
Please send me the captures of these two experiments. (you
should have 4 files).
Can you try using a 3rd computer and see how it works?
Thanks
Tzachi

Help Needed
Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for your replies. Still the same
problem.. able to ping sucessfully from one side but not from the other.
Hi Tzachi and Leonid,
a. I followed your steps. I am able to view the
infiniband data when I run the server (ib_send_bw -a) on computer 2 and
I connect to this from computer 1 (ib_send_bw -a <ip>). However, I do
not view this data when I run server on computer 1 and connect from
computer 2. I get a pp_connect_sock<ip,port> failed in the latter case.
b. I disabled and enabled network interfaces on both
ports, but no luck. It still doesnt work.
c. I know that its not a hardware issue because the same
problem persists when I interchange the infiniband cards i.e. the card
that was actually plugged into computer 2 is now plugged into computer 1
and vice versa. I get the same issue in this case too.
d. I then installed Ultra VNC and ran one end as server
and the other as client.. And it worked perfectly fine!!!!!!!.. Both
from computer 1 to computer 2 and computer 2 to computer 1. I then
installed WIRESHARK on both computers. I could see the Computer 2 send
the Ping requests to computer 1 in Computer 2's Wireshark window but for
some bizzare reason computer 1 was rejecting these ping requests. When I
checked the connection status of Computer 1, I could see the number of
received packets also increasing but Computer 1 did not send back any
packets.
e. I suspect this issue is arising because of some win
xp setting in Computer 1. There is no difference between the two PC's.
both are brand new PC's having Xp. The only difference is that I have a
wifi driver on computer 1. all my firewall settings are disabled. I even
uninstalled my wifi driver, but still the same problem persists.
f. ipconfig and vstat return the correct values.. here's

Hi Ashwath,
If you still have problems, send us, please, the
output of 'vstat -v' and 'ipconfig /all' on both machines.
TIA

Hi Ashwath,
There are a few things that I would like
you to try:
1) Please run some low level IB test to
see that traffic is indeed ok. On one computer please run
ib_send_bw -a
and on the other computer please run
ib_send_bw -a 192.168.0.x (where
x is the ip of the remote side. Please start this test with the Ethernet
addresses of the ports).
2) Assuming all works well please try to
disable and enable the network interfaces (ipoib) on both ports. Please
see if this helps.
3) If this doesn't help, you will
probably need to change the parameter of "Guid bitwise mask" to e7. To
do this, please open the device manager, than go to "network adapters"
select the ipoib interfaces and than right click properties. Select the
"Guid bitwise mask" and change it to e7.
If all doesn't help, can you give me
remote access to these stations?
Thanks
Tzachi

Hi Fab,
I restarted opensm on the
other node. I ran both opensm and ibdiagnet on the other node (not on
the node where opensm is running). The logs are similar to the one I
attached in my previous mail. (Computer 1 :-192.168.0.1 logs in my
previous mail). I have disabled firewall settings on both nodes.
However, I still cannot get it to work. I cannot access the shared
folder of each node from the other. Is there something else I can try?
p.s. There is a typo in my previous
mail. I had opensm running on computer 2 and not computer 1.
regards,
Ashwath

Check your firewall settings on the
192.168.0.1 box. Can you access the administrative share on each node
from the other (\\192.168.0.1\c$, and \\192.168.0.2\c$?)

You probably have OpenSM running on this
node, yes? You can't run osmtest on the same port where OpenSM is
running.

Don't know the details of this tool,
maybe it's running into the same problems as osmtest? Try running
OpenSM on the other node and see if the problem follows the SM or not.
