Subject: CAn't bootstrap a new node to my cluster

Hi all,

When I try the join command I have the following error :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: No other nodes 
seen!  Unable to bootstrap.If you intended to start a single-node 
cluster, you should make sure your broadcast_address (or listen_address) 
is listed as a seed.  Otherwise, you need to determine why the seed 
being contacted has no knowledge of the rest of the cluster.  Usually, 
this can be solved by giving all nodes the same seed list.

org.apache.cassandra.dht.BootStrapper.getBootstrapSource(BootStrapper.java:168)
        at 
org.apache.cassandra.dht.BootStrapper.getBalancedToken(BootStrapper.java:150)

and see the messages below in the seed log :
==> /var/log/cassandra/output.log <==
INFO 19:55:39,554 InetAddress /10.0.1.70 is now dead.

==> /var/log/cassandra/system.log <==
INFO [GossipStage:1] 2012-03-10 19:55:39,554 Gossiper.java (line 818) 
InetAddress /10.0.1.70 is now dead.

however the node I try to add finds the topology of the cluster :
loaded network topology /10.0.1.62:[Ljava.lang.String;@53533ff4, 
/10.0.1.63:[Ljava.lang.String;@7e8bd6e8,

/10.0.1.64:[Ljava.lang.String;@3a536d00, 
/10.0.1.66:[Ljava.lang.String;@3b1938ea

The node says it's in joining mode but does not receive any token :

Mode: JOINING
Not sending any streams.
Not receiving any streams.
Pool Name                    Active   Pending      Completed

Responses                       n/a         0           5490

any idea ?
