JGroups(JChannel) Chat Application not working on other computer

I'm developing a simple chat application using JGroups. The application works perfectly in my computer, but when I try to run it on another computer on the same network, it doesn't work. 

void start() throws Exception { 
    channel=new JChannel();                
    channel.setReceiver(this);        
    channel.connect("Test");           
}

Am I missing any configuration on the start() function? When I run on the other computer, it doesn't recognize the chat instance on the cluster "Test". Maybe it creates another instance of cluster "Test".

Need some help. Thanks!

What's the output the program shows? If it includes an address of 127.0.0.1, then the nodes won't find each other. In this case, set bind_addr, either -Djgroups.bind_addr=x.x.x.x, or channel.getProtocolStack.findProtocol(TP.class).setValue"bind_addr", "x.x.x.x"). The latter needs to be done before connecting the channel. Might also be an IPv6 issue, as mentioned above.
