title: Installing hudson slave on windows xp
body: <p>I am trying to install a slave on windows xp on a different machine from the master.  I tried clicking on new node and it only give me the option of choosing dumb slave.  Is it supposed to be like that?  Anyway, I fill out the node name as "Test" and i select launch using jnlp and i hit save.  Now when I click on that node i download the slave-agent.jnlp and slave.jar files from that screen and i open a command prompt and enter  java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl <a href="http://servername:portnumber/hudson/computer/Test/slave-agent.jnlp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://servername:portnumber/hudson/computer/Test/slave-agent.jnlp</a> but I get the following java errors: </p>

  <p>When i try to run it from the web interface it cannot connect and it looks like it is trying to use a port number like 59870 instead of the real portnumber to connect to the host.  Does anyone know why I can't install the slave agent? </p>
