I can't adding slave pvmd using command 'add' from PVM console,
or using 'hostfile' when I starting master pvmd.

I have two computers:
software:
        Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
        Remote Shell Service from resource kit CD
        I have not instaled any Rexec =


Computer name 1:        ul407-kiv-pc8
Computer name 2:        ul407-kiv-pc9

Software Pvm3 Vbeta4 I am unpacked on both computers =

into directory d:\sw\pvm34 (local disk)

I working on ul407-kiv-pc9
On ul407-kiv-pc8 is nobody logged.

On both computer I have setting enviroment:

DOS prompt> set

Thank you very much for any answer.
