Selenium Node will register to the grid, but not run any tests?

[Travis Needham]

I am running a Selenium GRID on one of my corporate VM's and a Node on another. When I launch my Node, it registers to the GRID (both the Node and the GRID confirm this), but then when I run my tests, I get the following error:

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new > session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser > start-up failure.

If I fire up a node on the same VM with the GRID, and register it using localhost, then the tests run fine. I tried opening ports 4444 (GRID), and 5566 (Node) on both machines in windows firewall, but still no luck.  I even tried turning the firewalls off on both VM's and it still did the same thing. Is it just my companies network policy? Is there something else I can try? Thanks!

Here is what I am using to launch my GRID:

java -jar "selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar" -role hub -maxSession 10

Here is what I am using to launch my Node:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar -role webdriver -Dwebdriver.ie.driver="C:\SeleniumDrivers\IEDriverServer.exe" -hubhttp://XX.XX.XX.XX:4444/grid/register -port 5566 -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=9.0,maxInstances=1,platform=WINDOWS -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=10.0,maxInstances=1,platform=WINDOWS -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=11.0,maxInstances=1,platform=WINDOWS -maxSession 1

Travis,

When are you seeing this error ? Am guessing that you must be seeing this error when you are trying to run a test against your Grid.

It would be good if you could please help share the logs from the following :

• Test case logs when the error occurs.
• Node logs from the console.

Thanks & Regards
