> From Tim:
> "I just had a user, new to JBoss have a problem connecting to a remote jboss server.
> It turns out it was a classic problem, he hadn't specified the -b parameter when starting the AS so it was just binding to localhost and could not be contacted.
> This kind of thing is obvious to old time users, but not to newbs.
> I looked through the AS and EAP doco trying to find an explanation or note "remember to set -b if you want your server to be contactable", but could find only a tiny explanation of -b in the getting started guide, sec 2.3.3:
> "-b, --host=<host or ip> Bind address for all JBoss services". It mentions nothing about what the default is, and that it needs to be specified.
> Might I suggest a bit more doco here?"
