/*
* Make public the information needed by remote nodes that may wish
* to connect to this one. This method establishes a connection to
* the Erlang port mapper (Epmd) and registers the server node's
* name and port so that remote nodes are able to connect.
*
* <p> This method will fail if an Epmd process is not running on
* the localhost. See the Erlang documentation for information about
* starting Epmd.
*
* <p> Note that once this method has been called, the node is
* expected to be available to accept incoming connections. For that
* reason you should make sure that you call {@link #accept()}
* shortly after calling {@link #publishPort()}. When you no longer
* intend to accept connections you should call {@link
* #unPublishPort()}.
*
* @return true if the operation was successful, false if the node
* was already registered.
*
* @exception C#.io.IOException if the port mapper could not be contacted.
