i'm wondering if this will let rmi work with firewall:
start rmiregistry on port 80, therefore the firewall won't block the client to access the server.
i'll try this on Monday.

hi,
depends on your firewall. firewalls can/do not only block ports but also protocols. so if your firewall is set to allow only HTTP connections on port 80 and thats it, then i think it will fail. if it is set to block all ports beside 80, then this should work.
