How did I got this error

I started a selenium hub at my local by this command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role hub -port 1111

Then I started node with below command.

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role node -port 1111 -hub &lt;hub-ip&gt;:&lt;hub-port&gt;/grid/register/

Then I start running my program.

Use this code snippet:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
RemoteWebDriver remoteWD = null;
try{
remoteWD = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub"),capabilities);
}catch(MalformedURLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
remoteWD.get(http://www.google.com/); }

You will get the above error.

Resolution

Start node with below command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port 5555 -browser browserName="internet explorer,version=7,platform=WINDOWS" -Dwebdriver.ie.driver="F:\IEDriverServer_32.exe

NOTE: If you want to run your test scripts on IE then you need to set the security mode of your system same for all, like this
