Hello,

I am new to JADE, and have a basic question.
After installing JADE, I ran the following:
java jade.Boot -gui

on
(a) a WIN2000 laptop using DHCP
and on
(b) an NT pc with static IP

On the win2000 laptop, the JADE platform does not start and the
executable just hangs.
But, there is no problem starting JADE on the PC that is running NT.

OUTPUT from trying to run JADE on LAPTOP:
-------------------------------------------
There were no error messages provided. Therefore, I inserted some
'DEBUG' printout statements, and obtained information as to where JADE
is hanging.
Output:
DEBUGMJL: Enter Boot
DEBUGMJL:Boot Before properties
DEBUGMJL:Boot After properties
DEBUGMJL:Boot Before HOST_KEY
DEBUGMJL:Boot After HOST_KEY
DEBUGMJL: Boot check method entering
DEBUGMJL: Boot check method before CONTAINER_KEY try
DEBUGMJL: Boot check method after CONTAINER_KEY try
DEBUGMJL: Boot after check method call return
DEBUGMJL: Boot before containers check
DEBUGMJL: AgentContainerImpl constructor
    This is JADE 2.61 - 2002/09/24 13:30:17
    downloaded in Open Source, under LGPL restrictions,
    at http://jade.cselt.it/

DEBUGMJL: AgentContainerImpl: enter JoinPlatform method
DEBUGMJL: AgentContainerImpl: JoinPlatform before getIMTPmanager
DEBUGMJL: AgentContainerImpl: JoinPlatform after getIMTPmanager
DEBUGMJL: AgentContainerImpl: JoinPlatform after init IMTPmanager
DEBUGMJL: RMIIMTPManager enter remotize
DEBUGMJL: RMIIMTPManager remotize before agentcontainerRMIimpl

AFTER looking at the source code I found that the JADE executable does
not return from
a call to
super(0) ;
in the constructor of AgentContainerRMIImpl

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTIOM -- is this due to the DHCP? If not, can anyone offer an
explanation?
If so, what is a work-around?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(As a contrast, on the NT pc the RMA comes up and one can see the df,ams
and rma agents
D:\jade\mjlDemo>java jade.Boot -gui -nomtp
    This is JADE 2.61 - 2002/09/24 13:30:17
    downloaded in Open Source, under LGPL restrictions,
    at http://jade.cselt.it/

Agent container Main-Container@JADE-IMTP://m27440-pc2 is ready. )

Thanks for your help.

-Margaret
