title: JMeter-server freezes after starting test
body: <p>I am doing <code>jmeter</code> distributed testing in AWS ec2 instance. My <code>jmeter</code> client machine(master) is in different AWS region on windows platform and <code>jmeter</code> server machine(slave) ) is in another region on linux platform. <code>JMeter</code> server is using public IP. </p>
  
  <p>But when I remote start the jmeter server, it shows “starting the test on host xx.xx.xx.xx @…..” in linux terminal. After that nothing showing in the terminal and no results in jmeter client GUI. Even not hitting the application server(target server-hosted my own app). And it is taking more than 2 minutes to show that the test has started in linux terminal.</p>
  
  <p>No errors showing in jmeter client GUI error log. Here is my GUI log..</p>
