I assume that you are running JBoss AS 4.2.x (you never said). That version binds to localhost by default. If you bind it to 0.0.0.0, then it will be accessible from anywhere: ./run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 By the way, this is documented in the readme file. Oh, and if you are running the app server as a service, see my post in http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=121025&a..., near the bottom of the page .
