MySQL Cluster on Windows 2008R2 error when starting management server (2 replies)

I'm trying to setup an MySQL cluster (ndb-7.2.5) on a windows 2008R2 server, I when I try to start the management server using this command:

ndb_mgmd --initial --configdir=c:/mysql/conf

and I get the following error:

Could not determine which nodeid to use for this node. Specify it with --ndb-nodeid=<nodeid> on command line

my config.ini is located in c:\mysql\conf and contains the following configuration:

[ndbd default]
noofreplicas=2
datadir=c:\mysql\data

[ndbd]
hostname=***.***.***.236
id=2

[ndbd]
hostname=***.***.***.212
id=3

[ndb_mgmd]
id=1
hostname=***.***.***.236

[mysqld]
id=101
hostname=***.***.***.236


I have tried adding the --ndb-nodeid but it doesn't work. MySQL documentation, reading blogs, googling around, but nothing. I'm sure it's something very small and basic...but still no success.

any pointers?
