When running netstat, always provide the -ab option - it lists all ports opened and the app the opened them. But based on the netstat output you posted, it looks like the app server is still binding to localhost, and not 0.0.0.0. Please post the first 20 or so lines when you start the app server - everything from the command prompt up to this line: 12:06:36,026 INFO [ServerInfo] OS-System: Windows Vista 6.0,x86 and post the last 10 lines, especially the line that contains: 12:07:57,805 INFO [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-0.0.0.0-8080 and ending with the 'start in' line: 12:07:58,461 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.2.1.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_1_GA date=200707131605)] Started in 1m:23s:497ms View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4114384#...
