JBosses on windows & unix can't talk

[nisroc]

I'm trying some of the simple JMS examples on a mix of windows and unix boxes. If I run jboss and the client on the same box, it works. If I try to have the client connect to a remote box (unix to windows or windows to unix) it fails trying to get the connection factory because the call to: javax.naming.Context.lookup( "ConnectionFactory" ) returns null. There are no exceptions thrown.

I don't think I have any sort of firewall or other net connection issue since I can do a simple telnet from either box to the correct remote port and get some output that indicates that jboss is listening.

I'm using:
* jboss 3-2 ORC2 (and I also tried 3.0.4 with the bundled tomcat 4.0.6)
* windows xp
* redhat 8.0

Any ideas?

Thanks, I saw that thread before I posted mine, but it didn't apply to my problem. I'm using the same JVM, classes, etc. on both sides.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Have other people had JBoss and JMS work "out of the box" across both environments?

Now I've obtained two identical redhat 8.0 boxes and tried having them talk to each other and it still fails. But this time I actually get an exception:

JNDI lookup failed: 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]
Connection problem: 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]

I'm confused by that localhost ip, since this is the output of a client trying to talk to a remote jboss.

Anyway, I'm going to broaden my search in the forum for remote jboss problems in general, but if this rings a bell with anyone, give me a shout. Thanks.

Yay! I was having the /etc/hosts problem. Somehow when I was searching for my problem I missed that topic.
