hi all,

It was hard all the way to come to this point. i am using hibernate along with jboss treecache in a distributed environment. I got my application to work perfectly with the multicasting between all the hosts. but now i am trying to do the distributed caching using tcp connection in an repl_sync mode. i have done what all it needs to get the tcp working, but no result.
i am trying to connect two hosts A and B. here is how my treecache.xml looks like on HostA.

<TCP start_port="7900" />
<TCPPING initial_hosts="HostB[7900]" port_range="5" timeout="3000"
num_initial_members="1" up_thread="true" down_thread="true"/>
<PING timeout="2000" num_initial_members="3"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false"/>
<MERGE2 min_interval="10000" max_interval="20000"/>
<FD shun="true" up_thread="true" down_thread="true"/>
<VERIFY_SUSPECT timeout="1500"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false"/>
<pbcast.NAKACK gc_lag="50" retransmit_timeout="600,1200,2400,4800"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false"/>
<pbcast.STABLE desired_avg_gossip="20000"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false"/>
<UNICAST timeout="600,1200,2400" window_size="100" min_threshold="10"
down_thread="false"/>
<FRAG frag_size="8192"
down_thread="false" up_thread="false"/>
<pbcast.GMS join_timeout="5000" join_retry_timeout="2000"
shun="true" print_local_addr="true"/>
<pbcast.STATE_TRANSFER up_thread="false" down_thread="false"/>

the treecache.xml on the HostB looks the same but except the initial_hosts="HostA[7900]"

i dont know what the problem might be, but none of the hosts are recognising each other. here i did not specify and bind_addr attribute , if that is the problem what should be the value of bind_addr in HostA (is it the ip address of HostA ), similaly,what is the bind_addr on the HostB.
How is the bind_addr used.
If some one can help me that would be great.
thanks in advance
