Hello,
Good day!

I installed the latest Fedora Core (FC6) a day ago, and reinstalled the OpenFOAM 1.3 system as I had done in my previous linux version (Fedora Core 5).

Everything works fine, except for FoamX. When I run "FoamX", the system successfully starts the FoamXHB and creates a name server with:

inet:localhost.localdomain:1234

Once the HostBrowser is up, it continues to load the Java CaseBrowser. At this stage, it quits with the error:

"Default name service could not be contacted"

I tried running just "runFoamXHB" in one console.... it ran fine, and then used the administrative tools.... "iordump" and "nsadmin", to see if there was anything amiss.... everything seems to be fine.

Then when I run FoamX from another console, it finds the running server (from nsd.ref), and tries to connect to it, but exits with the same error.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what this might be? I have opened the port 1234 as both tcp and udp in the firewall, and looked through SELinux for anything obvious which might be blocking access... but have not found anything so far.

Any leads will be welcome :-) While I continue snooping around under the hood!

Have a nice weekend!
