Thanks for the response. So the current issue is this. If I connect to my queue remotely, it works. This is because I used the following configuration which tells jboss to send clients the WAN ip instead of the internal ip to use for connecting. -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<external_host_name> -Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=true So now, when I connect from a machine inside the network, the connection starts, but the server is still telling the client to connect through the WAN ip, even though the client is on the internal network. When the client tries to do this, it eventually gets a connection reset by the server. So there are two ways I can see to fix this, but I don't know if either are possible. 1. Somehow specify the "java.rmi.server.hostname" per client. If the client is remote, it should connect through the internet. Otherwise it should connect throught he servers local IP. 2. When an internal client is trying to connect to the servers WAN IP, RMI chooses a random port for the communication. Since I don't have all ports forwarded to my server, this could be the issue. Can I specify a range of ports for RMI to work with? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4192846#...
