To grant access to JBOSS for web client not on the localhost

[guidoberetta]

HI,
I'm developping one servlet which look up a session bean.
All is going well when I call the Servlet using the address

http://localhost:8080/MyServlet

but when I try to get the servlet from another pc with

http://177.82.56.112:8080/MyServlet

I receive the error :

Failed to Connect


The connection was refused when attempting to contact 177.82.56.112:8080.


Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

What have I to do to grant access to JBoss from the net?

Many Thanks for the help!

when you launched jboss with run.sh, did you give it a bind address via the -b command flag? otherwise it only binds to the loopback (127.0.0.1) and wont be accessible to the outside world.

try launching jboss with the following extra parameter:

-b [your hostname or external facing ip address]

that should fix it up for you.
