Actually, if your internet connection is active, maybe you need to configure the right proxy settings to startup your Application Server. In this page, there's a list of options showing how to setup the proxy settings for some Server Applications like JBoss, Tomcat, Orion and WebLogic: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configure+Web+Proxy+Support+f... Particularly, to run the sample application under JBoss application server bundled with jBPM-suite 3.2, I did the following: -Edited the file "jbpm-jpdl-3.2.GA\server\bin\run.bat" -Searched for JAVA_OPTS. Changed the line "set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000" to "set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.10.254 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000" Where 192.168.10.254 is my proxy server and 3128 is the port for connection. Hope this works for you as worked for me!! Best regards, Alexandre View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4036485#...
