I'm trying to get a simple demo running on a single machine using socket transport. When I run the client and server on the same machine, I get this exception when the client attempts to invoke the server and pass a String. It gets java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out of range:-1 I have tried different port numbers and still get the same exception. socket://toms-d2003x64/10.1.3.100:1600 socket://toms-d2003x64/10.1.3.100:5400 The client connect works but when I attempt to invoke server I get the following: Here's the stack trace: INFO | jvm 1 | main | 2009/05/21 16:21:13 | EXCEPTION: org.jboss.remoting.CannotConnectException: Can not get connection to server.
