In fact, the attribute I suggested taking out, "secondaryConnectPort," is relevant to connection in the presence of a firewall. if the firewall is doing address  (and, in particular, port)  translation.  I would check that out next.  It could be that you need to connect to a port different from the one the secondary ServerSocket is bound to. -Ron -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/545315#545315] Start a new discussion in JBoss Remoting at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
