I'm missing something that is likely brutally obvious - I'm hoping someone can slap me with the answer :>) I've built and deployed several EJBs - I used the sample EJB client from the documentation as a test client. This client works fine when running on the same machine as jboss. I then move to another machine - I've changed the jndi.properties file to include the IP of the jboss server (and I've tried its name, etc as well). I'm getting this exception: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect] The 127.0.0.1 part is a bit confusing - here's the jndi.properties file java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory java.naming.provider.url=172.168.0.3 java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming My first thought was that the jndi.properties file was not being found - however if I STOP jboss on the server, I get this exception: javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Connection refused: connect [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect] And, if I change the IP address in the jndi.properties file to a non-existent IP, I get javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Operation timed out: connect [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out: connect] So, it sure seems like I have the correct jndi.properties file. I know that port 1099 is active on the server - if I telnet there, i get lots of garbage, including the text java.rmi.... What am I missing? I'm using the jboss.jcml from the tomcat configuration directory - all mbeans appear to start correctly during initialization. I'm running jboss on Mandrake Linux 8.1, and the test application on Windows 2000. Thanks! Ian
