Linux problem

I am trying to test my app in Linux, and as I mentioned earlier I keep getting a connection reset by peer message.
Well, I got rid of the service that was listening on my port 1099, and checked my netstat to make sure that the port was indeed free.
Now, when I start the rmiregistry and try to bind my server to it, I still get the same connection reset by peer message, but the port is open.
Any insights would be great. I tried adding the port to my /etc/services file, but that did not clear up the problem.
I am just affraid that if I can't get it to work on linux, got help em trying to run it on unix, but i think it's an enviroment thing, not my code.
Thoughts?

Hey Max,
Can you lead me in the correct direction, I took a look at your posts that looked like they might relate and didn't find anything, can you lead me to one of the posts you are referring to.
Thanks,
