I start up my server, no error messages. I start up my client and it hangs saying:

[17:31:35] Failed to connect to any address from IP finder (will retry to join topology every 2000 ms; change 'reconnectDelay' to configure the frequency of retries): [localhost/127.0.0.1:8080]

Sad.

It seems to work with multicast, but that's no an option for us. Both server and client are running on the same node in this example.

Answer 1

DiscoverySpi and CommunicationSpi are different components used for different purposes, and they are using different TCP connections. Therefore, if you want to use 8080 for discovery, you should set localPort property on DiscoverySpi while you're doing this for CommunicationSpi.
