problem in displaying wsrpproxy portlet with liferay

[ganesh pol]

Hi All,
I am new to portals and experimenting with available portlets

I want to know what is subtle difference between local and remote preference

The idea behind asking this question is as follows

1] i got success in configuring my wsrp proxy with edit Local Preferences
as steps explained in this url
http://content.liferay.com/4/docs/ppt/wsrp/wsrp-portlets.ppt

2] now i tried following to access remote portlet
2.1] started second instance of liferay on other machine
in this case this other machine will act as producer
and my machine will act as consumer

2.2] through browser i just call my machine
and added wsrp proxy content to my page

2.3] now page shows me 2 links
edit local preferences
and edit remote preferences

2.4]since i want to access portlet running on other machine
i click edit remote preferences
i got error message like
Portlet is temporarily unavailable

2.5] so i moved back to same page which shows me two links
edit local preferences
and edit remote preferences

2.6] and clicked on edit local preferences
at this time i got proper window
here i just change
http://localhost:8082/c/wsrp
to
http://ps2740:8082/c/wsrp
where ps2740 is machine name on which 2nd instance of liferay is running
now my question is that how to call remote preferences

In Liferay,
preference settings are divided into local and remote settings. The local preferences are used
to dene the four producer interfaces while the remote preferences are for portlet settings which
are what users normally do in the edit mode. Liferay was also found to be able to retrieve the
available remote portlet list automatically from the WSRP4J producer.The edit
support is fully functional in Liferay, but it failed to open the remote help page, displaying an
empty page instead suggesting the help mode was not fully supported.
