I'm trying to get a messaging bridge working through a firewall. On server A in /server/default/jboss-messaging.sar I specified both a secondaryBindPort and secondaryConnectPort: 4460 4461 In the firewall I have the ports 1098, 1099, 4457, 4460, 4461 opened up. When I try to start server B that is actually creating the bridge to server A I get a SocketException: Connection Refused when it attempts to connect to the secondaryConnectPort of server A (4461). When I take a look at the ports that are actually bound on server A, all mentioned ports except 4461 are listed. Both servers are running JBoss-4.2.3.GA with messaging 1.4.4.GA and remoting 2.2.3. Am I overlooking something ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255316#...
