A nice feature of windows I've found is that you can create ips in the loopback range automatically; so you can start up a series of jbosses with (for example) run -c jboss1 -b 127.0.0.1 run -c jboss2 -b 127.0.0.2 run -c jboss3 -b 127.0.0.3 and so on. This only helps you if the jboss does not need to be connected to remotely; ie. it's good for development. On unix you need to 'plumb' the interfaces explicitly. Matt
