We are trying to run the WRF model in a cluster of two intel machines (each one with two dual core procesors x86_64) under linux fedora 6. 
We can run succesfully the model in one machine with 4 nodes (two dual core 2x processor), Using MPICH2 2-1.0.5p4 with PGI version 7.0.7.

However, when we run the same model in the two machine cluster, Mpich 2 only recognizes two processors (one per machine) as it is shown by the comands: mpdtrace, mpdringtest and mpiexec.

mpiexec_cs-room443-d01 (mpiexec 425): mpiexec: failed to obtain sock from manager

Is there any way to configure mpich for our cluster with 8 nodes?. Any suggestion will be helpful. 

Thanks.
