Issue: Remote Jmeter server is not reporting back the results to the master server.
Description: Using a VMware server I have added several Ubuntu servers hosting various JMeter client/servers. I have setup a very simple distributed Jmeter environment using one master and one remote slave. I have a very simple test plan that uses FTP to transfer a single file to a third FTP server.
Jmeter Master: 192.168.19.219, Ubuntu 12.04, Java 1.7.0.51, Jmeter 2.11 Jmeter Slave: 192.168.19.201, Ubuntu 12.04, Java 1.7.0.51, Jmeter 2.11 FTP Server 192.168.19.211, Win2008 R2
Upon execution the test plan works correctly and the file gets uploaded and downloaded successfully to and from the FTP server. Whats not working are the results. Using wireshark I determined that no results were being sent back to the master server. I then checked the jmeter-server.log and noticed some errors complaining about java.rmi.ConnectException. Its trying to use 127.0.0.1 which is obviously not the correct address. I read up and found to correct this you must set the param "java.rmi.server.hostname".
So on the slave server I edited the jmeter-server config file to the IP address of the slave server: RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.19.201
The jmeter-server.log (attached) shows the java.rmi.server.hostname being picked up so I cannot figure out why further down in the jmeter-server.log its complaining about 127.0.0.1? Where is 127.0.0.1 coming from? Why is RMI not using 192.168.19.201?

, and it was golden. This usually happens to me when I have more than one NIC (virtual or physical) - seems jMeter gloms to the WRONG NIC for incomming,and reports that to the "servers" – Rodge
