I still get an obscure "Low-level MathLink error: The linkname was missing or not in the proper form." error when try to connect to a remote kernel (client is WinXP/i386, server is SuSe10.1/x86_64, same LAN, no firewalls, no passwords). Arguments to MLOpen -LinkMode Listen -LinkProtocol TCPIP -LinkOptions MLDontInteract -LinkName "3500" -LinkHost 192.168.187.99 string to launch kernel : ssh tsariysk at 192.168.187.99 '"math" -mathlink -LinkMode Connect -LinkProtocol TCP -LinkName "3500" -LinkHost 192.168.187.99' ERR: Mathematica could not establish a connection to the kernel. Kernel: craft99. Low-level MathLink error: The linkname was missing or not in the proper form. I tried \"3500\", 3500, \\"3500\\" - the same error. I don't know if 3500 is a port number or just a tag, I wasn't able to find any documentation about what is LinkName and what are the proper values for it. Could somebody post it's current working configuration for remote kernel, please? Thanks, Ted P.S.
