I was trying to setup remote webdriver to run my tests in remote computer, as my application is deployed to my localhost. Using Selenium RC I used host address to run those tests and it worked fine; but I'm having trouble setting up the base class using remote webdriver. I've tried the following code but it has not worked. By the way, I had selenium tests which I am migrating to remote webdriver. I tried webdriver which works fine but couldn't setup the remote webdriver for remote execution. Any help will be appreciated.
public static String base_url = "http://localhost:8084";
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setProxyAutoconfigUrl(base_url);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(capabilities);
selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, base_url);
Sample grid 2 code which works for firefox but doesn't work on IE9
String hubURL = "http://myip:4444/wd/hub";
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
//capability.setBrowserName("internet explorer");
//capability.setPlatform("WINDOWS");
//capability.setVersion("9.0.4");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubURL), capability);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
element.submit();
driver.quit();
Error I was receiving when it's IE9 though I specified IE from command mode from node:

To run a remote WebDriver client, first, connect to RemoteWebDriver. Point the URL to the address of the server running the tests. Also, set up the desired capabilities to customize the client. The example below instantiates a remote WebDriver object pointing to the remote web server, www.myexamplebrowserstack.com.
Step 1: Download the Selenium standalone jar from the official website of Selenium. By default, the server would be launched in the port 4444, which can be modified by -port followed by the port number. Once the hub has been launched successfully, you should see the message as displayed in the image below.
Selenium RemoteWebDriver is used to execute the browser automation suite on a remote machine. In other words, RemoteWebDriver is a class that implements the WebDriver interface on the remote server. The browser driver classes like FirefoxDriver, ChromeDriver, InternetExplorerDriver, etc.
You have to install a Selenium Server (a Hub) and register your remote WebDriver to it. Then, your client will talk to the Hub which will find a matching WebDriver to execute your test.
You can have a look at here for more information.

This issue came for me due to the fact that .. i was running server with selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0 and client registered with selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0 .. When i made both selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0 and ran then things worked fine
