<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am new to the world of infiniband and I am trying to set up an infiniband network between two Lenovo x86 Desktops (Windows Xp). </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Description</strong>:- </div>
<div>The hardware I am using is a Mellanox Infinihost III Adaptor (MT25208). I have downloaded and installed the required drivers for windows Xp from the mellanox website. I verified the successful installation by looking at the Device Manager where the Adaptor gets listed and detected. I then assigned static ip addresses to both the Desktops one as 192.168.0.1 and the other as 192.168.0.2. After this I run the subnet manager as "sc start opensm". My windows xp shows that the connection is successful. Both Yellow LED's and Green Led's glow signifying a logical and physical link being established. I also verified if the ports were active through "vstat". </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Problem</strong>:-</div>
<div>I am able to ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 however ping does not work the other way around i.e. from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.1. I don't understand why this is not happening. I see that the "<strong>bind"</strong> fails but I dont understand why. Shouldn't it be two way? (I am using one cable to connect the two adaptors) Please help me. Thanks.</div>
