Yes, I'm aware of the JMeter mailing list. Yes, I'm subscribed. Yes,
I've asked there. No, I haven't received any useful responses :-(

I'm running JMeter 2.2 on a Windows 2000 Server machine at 192.168.101.6
I have JMeter 2.2 installed on two Linux machines, 192.168.101.16 and
192.168.101.69 None of these machines are running any sort of firewall.

JMeter is running on the Linux machines:

14698 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh
/root/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/jmeter-server
14702 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/grmiregistry
14704 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /root/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/jmeter
-Dserver_
14706 ? Sl 0:01 java -server -Xms256m -Xmx256m
-XX:NewSize=128m -XX:M

On both Linux machines, I can telnet localhost 1099 and connect to
JMeter.

On the Windows machine, I can telnet to 192.168.101.16 1099 or
192.168.101.69 1099 and get a blank window, which the doc says is an
indication of success.

However, when I Run, Remote Start All in the JMeter GUI on the Windows
system, it tells me "Bad call to remote host" several times. In
jmeter.log, I get several instances that say:

2006/07/06 15:11:29 ERROR - jmeter.gui.action.RemoteStart:
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested
exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

It's always 127.0.0.1, not the remote IP addresses.

In jmeter.properties, I have:

remote_hosts=192.168.101.16,192.168.101.69

I've tried with and without 127.0.0.1 as well as with and without :1099
at the end of each IP address.

jmeter.log says:

I had a similar problem a while ago. I was unable to get the remote mode
working at all, so I just gave up and ran JMeter normally on the server
(Linux), but over a remote X11 connection, so the window was showing up
on my local (OS X) machine. I know nothing about running X11 on Windows,
but I'm pretty sure there are ways to do it.

Thanks for the response, Mike.

My problem is that I need to be able to do distributed testing... if a
single machine can generate enough traffic to overwhelm my clustered web
server, I'm in big trouble! :-)

Anyone have any recommendations for commercial products?
