Priya, As has been explained various times in this thread, you have to start the server with -b 0.0.0.0 or -b 192.116.25.23 for this piece of code to work. When you are running this piece of code, how did you start the server? What did you pass to the -b option? If you used the correct -b parameter value, then make sure that the remote system 192.116.25.23 is accessible from the client machine. What does the following command from the client system, output: telnet 192.116.25.23 1099 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4149372#...
