Ok, well hopefully we'll figure out a way to get you sorted. Here's what 
I'd suggest doing for now. First of all, make sure epmd is running. You 
can do this by starting and stopping a distributed node (e.g., `erl 
-sname foo -s init halt`) or on unix by running `epmd -daemon` on the 
command line.

Then I would suggest that you try to telnet onto the epmd port (i.e., 
4369) and see if that works. If it doesn't then your epmd port is 
clearly blocked and you should look to your firewall configuration to 
see why. If this *does* work, then try starting up a distributed node 
(`erl -sname foo` again) and see what happens. Post back when you've had 
a go at that and we'll take it from there.

Cheers,
Tim
