Okay, I recreated your problem by changing my /etc/hosts to the same as yours, as follows: ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1 localhost After changing to this the same problem occurs, even with a wireless connection. I then just added localhost.localdomain to the IPv4 line as follows: ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain This makes the IPv4 and IPv6 lines match, and then the AS boots fine. So, just add localhost.localdomain to the 127.0.0.1 line, and everything should work. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4039310#...
