He there! 1. I'm new to Cassandra. 2. I created multinode cluster which worked well between two computers in LAN (192.168.1.31, 192.168.1.33) with reference to the official wiki. 3. When creating multinode cluster between my computer (192.168.1.31) and a remote server ( y.y.y.y ) it didn't work. I referred to http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/connecting_through_firewall_using_jmx to let JMX use a fixed port rather than randomized ones, but it didn't help. I also passed "-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=x.x.x.x" in my local computer (where x.x.x.x my public IP, and on the router I forwarded all necessary ports to 192.168.1.31), still not work. It seems random ports are still used which are blocked my the firewall/router.
Please point out what I have mistaken. Thanks a lot! -- Xu Hui Hui
