Pyro: ProtocolError('connection failed')

[jamitwidme at gmail.com]

Hello everyone
Can someone help me fix this problem?

I am using an example from Pyro(Python Remote Object) website
directly.
It is the last example from
http://pyro.sourceforge.net/manual/8-example.htm

I have two computers to run Server and Client.
############################################
server.py

import Pyro.naming
import Pyro.core
from Pyro.errors import PyroError,NamingError


###### testclass Pyro object

class testclass(Pyro.core.ObjBase):
    def mul(s, arg1, arg2): return arg1*arg2
    def add(s, arg1, arg2): return arg1+arg2
    def sub(s, arg1, arg2): return arg1-arg2
    def div(s, arg1, arg2): return arg1/arg2

###### main server program

def main():
        Pyro.core.initServer()
        daemon = Pyro.core.Daemon()
        # locate the NS
        locator = Pyro.naming.NameServerLocator()
        print 'searching for Name Server...'
        ns = locator.getNS(host='drizzle.des.hep.uiuc.edu', port=9090)
        daemon.useNameServer(ns)

        # connect a new object implementation (first unregister
previous one)
        try:
                # 'test' is the name by which our object will be known
to the outside world
                ns.unregister('test')
        except NamingError:
                pass

        # connect new object implementation
        daemon.connect(testclass(),'test')

        # enter the server loop.
        print 'Server object "test" ready.'
        daemon.requestLoop()

if __name__=="__main__":
        main()

import Pyro.naming, Pyro.core
from Pyro.errors import NamingError

# locate the NS
locator = Pyro.naming.NameServerLocator()
print 'Searching Name Server...',
ns = locator.getNS(host='drizzle.des.hep.uiuc.edu',port=9090)

# resolve the Pyro object
print 'finding object'
try:
        URI=ns.resolve('test')
        print 'URI:',URI
except NamingError,x:
        print 'Couldn\'t find object, name server says:',x
        raise SystemExit

# create a proxy for the Pyro object, and return that
test = Pyro.core.getProxyForURI(URI)

print test.mul(111,9)
print test.add(100,222)
print test.sub(222,100)
print test.div(2.0,9.0)
print test.mul('*',10)
print test.add('String1','String2')

It does not matter which computer Pyro NameServer is located.
When Server and Client are in a same computer, it works perfectly
fine.
But whenever Server and Client run in different computers, I get a
following error message.

Thanks a lot.
