You need to change 'localhost' in the configuration files to 'A' and
'B' in the right places. 

Assuming this is node A:
> node 18.31.12.1 -routes ping.routes -log 255 -consoleport 2050
> channel 18.31.12.1 localhost:8004 -log 255
> application 18.31.12.1 apps.ping.PingApplication -target 18.31.12.3 -iter 20 -interv 300 -lossage 1 -prime 1000

change the 'localhost' above to 'A'.

And assuming this is node B:
> node 18.31.12.2 -routes ping.routes -log 255 -consoleport 2051
> channel 18.31.12.2 localhost:8005 -log 255 

Change the 'localhost' to 'B'

> connect 18.31.12.1 18.31.12.2
> " 

Either re-run 'makeroutes' to generate the new routes file, or change
localhost there too (

    18.31.12.1      18.31.12.2      18.31.12.2      B:8005
    18.31.12.2      18.31.12.1      18.31.12.1      A:8004

No, DataCapsule should work between machines as well as within a
single machine/VM.

Yes, starting your application should be the same as in the
single-machine case, but you must of course give the right "ANTS IP"
address on the right physical machine.  In your case 18.31.12.1 is 'A',
and 18.31.12.2 is 'B'.

I hope I answered your question.  (And I hope I got the answer right,
too, I'm doing it from memory.)
