port 8080 only works on the same machine

bnevins Oct 21, 2007 5:30 AM

I'm a brand-new user. I installed 4.2.1-GA on Win XP

I can access the main page at http://localhost:8080
I can NOT access it from any other computer on the internet.

I also have a GlassFish installation.

I can access GF at port 80 from any computer on the internet

I stopped JBoss and then I changed GF to use port 8080
I can access GF at port 8080 from any computer on the internet.

This proves I don't have any firewall issues (the firewall is OFF, the computer is currently wide-open on the Internet).

I installed JBoss on another computer -- and I can access it on port 8080 from a different computer on the same subnet.

Do I have to configure something to make it JBoss accessible outside of the subnet?

Note: I also deployed a simple web module to make sure there isn't security issues with the admin page.
I can access the web module ONLY from the server computer itself

More Info:

1) I started up a simple EchoServer (a java app with a ServerSocket)that listens on port 8080. It is accessible everywhere.

2)I installed JBoss 4.0.4GA
-- the console is accessible from anywhere on port 8080

Something changed between 4.0.4 and 4.2.1

Have a look at the first question at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss42FAQ.
