Dear all,

I setup a client application in a Linux machine and server application in a Windows machine. In the server side, the function MPI_Open_port will generate the following port_name:

tag=0 port=2001 description=awwase-Laptop ifname=192.168.1.4

Now I have to to pass this information into the function MPI_Comm_connect in the client side. When I compile and run the client application in a Linux machine with the given information, the application crashes and says "MPI_Comm_connect: invalid argument: Invalid argument (rank 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD)". But when I run it in a Windows machine, it works fine. Moreover, when I compile and run the server application in a Linux machine, the port_name will looks like:

0.2.0:2000

Is it possible to make a connection between Windows machine and Linux machine? How I can translate the port_name between Linux machine and Windows machine?
Thank you in advance.
