Hi,

I wrote a HelloWorld EJB 3 and HelloClient to test remote access JBoss server, but failed as IP changed by firewall.

The server is linux and using JBoss 4.0.4.GA with jdk1.5.0_09.

I tried to start JBoss with "run.sh -c default -b <external IP>" , jboss cannot start with error :

2007-06-30 21:16:12,840 ERROR [org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.SocketServerInvoker] Error starting ServerSocket. Bind port: 3873, bind address: /202.155.230.102

then tried to start JBoss with "run.sh -c default -b <internal IP>" , then got below error

javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: <internal IP>; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect]

EJB Source Code

// HelloWorldBean.java
package hi;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless(name="HelloWorld")
public class HelloWorldBean implements HelloWorldRemote {

 public String sayHi (){
 System.out.println("sayHi");
 return "Hello world!";
 }

}
// HelloWorldRemote.java
package hi;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface HelloWorldRemote {
 public String sayHi ();
}

Client Source code

// main.java

}

Please help
