I am running my tests against FF 6.0 on virtual Windows XP machine. The winner-line

 java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.5.0.jar -role webdriver -hub http://192.168.1.149:4444/grid/register -port 5558 -host 10.0.2.15 -browser "browserName=firefox, version=6, platform=WINDOWS"

Gives me the following result:

17:53:22.667 INFO - Started SocketListener on 0.0.0.0:5559
17:53:22.667 INFO - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@5dccce3c

17:53:22.669 INFO - Registering the node to hub :http://192.168.1.149:4444/grid/register

Unfortunately, it never finishes by

17:53:25.488 INFO - Done: /status

It sort of hangs up on the word “register”.

Consequently, when running the tests I get an error:

** Erubis 2.6.6

  1) Error:

The node is visible on http://192.168.1.149:4444/grid/console.
