Alberto,

Are you saying the program hang even without jumbo frame (aka 1500 MTU) ?
At first, make sure there is no firewall running, and then you can try
mpirun --mca btl tcp,vader,self --mca oob_tcp_if_include eth0 --mca 
btl_tcp_if_include eth0 ...
(Replace eth0 with the interface name you want to use)

Cheers,

Gilles
