Hi Jean,

Thank you for responding to my question...

I have the file on both computers, each of which specifies the other 
computer as Server with ManualStartup. (Note: here the two computers are 
not part of our SVA, they are two computers in my office running linux 
box and X server is up and running)

I did this successfully, but this is referred to as "forward" connection, 
right?

Right after issuing "paraview --server=Brc (before "pvserver -rc" on B), 
a error dialog pops up, saying

ERROR: In 
/home/berk/Work/ReleaseBuilds/ParaView3/VTK/Parallel/vtkClientSocket.cxx, 
line 53
vtkClientSocket (0x85e0ab0): Failed to connect to server stereo3d:11111


Could not connect to requested server " stereo3d ". Creating default 
builtin connection.
