Thanks for the info. Maybe someone can help me catch a clue. I guess I am being slow today. My /etc/hosts file is as follows: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Simonin-Linux My ip address from dhcp is: 192.168.1.2 What am I supposed to do to the /etc/hosts file to get JBoss to work?
