What it's the problem? What it means: Exited with exit code 255 ???

Hello,

I'm currently working with a system with 129 atoms, so I was using VASP parallel ... And everything was OK... But after this week suddenly I have had this error message:

"Exited with exit code 255.

The output (if any) follows:

mpiexec: unable to start all procs; may have invalid machine names
remaining specified hosts:
192.168.66.13 (Spirou)
192.168.66.12 (Tintin) "

If you have had the same kind of problem, I would be grateful if you can help me.
Best regards !
Sebas

if there is no apparent runtime error in the job.out or job.error files, please check whether
-- your job might have crashed with a timeout (are there any run-time hard limits for the jobs in your system, or did you set the CPU-time limit explicitely?)
-- or there was a short break in the connection of your parallel nodes?
