Selenium Node failed to register with the hub

Question

I ran the command below on machine as a hub(IP Addr:192.168.55.209, OS:Ubuntu):

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar \ -role hub -port 4444

Then I ran another command below on another machine as a node(OS: Windows 7 64bit):

java -jar "selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar" \ -role node -port 5555 -hub http://192.168.55.209:4444/grid/register \browser browserName=firefox,platform=WINDOWS

But I got error message below: Please help find what's the problem. (I've disabled the firewall)

What happens if you try to hit 192.168.55.209:4444 from a browser on your client machine? — CIGuy

But 192.168.55.209:4444/wd/hub works. I got the page for manage the Session. — Charlie Zeng

I know this problem is a few months old, but I had the same issue and was able to clear it up by opening that port for the hub in my firewall settings in AWS.

You only need to start the hub. Type in your command line "java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar -role hub" and then open another terminal and type your command "java -jar "selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar" \ -role node -port 5555 -hub http://192.168.55.209:4444/grid/register \browser browserName=firefox,platform=WINDOW"
