How to access the server using ipaddress instead of local host

Hi,

I have jBoss server instace running on the port 8060. The server is accessing using http://localhost:8060 but unable to access using http://<ipaddress>:8060. I want access this using ipconfig so that the people from other systems in the lan can also accss the server.

Could you please let me know whether I need to start any services in window to do this happen.

Thanks,
Somesh

See this. Use the -b option to start the server

Hi Jaikiran,

Thanks much for you response. I have tried that option but its still working. I am getting the follwoing error when I try to open the admin console.
----------------------
Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
---------------------------

Thanks,
Somesh

Please post the command that you used to start the server. Which version of the server do you use? And where do you see this error? Also please post the console logs.

While posting the logs, remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window.

1. I have used C:\jboss-4.2.0.GA\bin>run -b 0.0.0.0
2. I am using JBoss 4.2
3. I am seeing the below error on the IE after giving http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:6080/
------
Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
------
4. I have copied the console log in Code block

C:\jboss-4.2.0.GA\bin>run -b 0.0.0.0

Here are some things that you can try to help us narrow down the problem (these are all things we would do if we were sitting at your system, but since we aren't you have to be our hands and eyes):

Check your firewall (on the host running JBoss AS, on the PC running IE, and in between), and make sure that no firewalls are blocking access. (By the way, could you please describe what the network looks like between the system running IE and the system running JBoss AS.)

Run TCPView on the host running JBoss AS and ensure that port 6080 is open.

Run IE on the same box as JBoss AS and enter the URL http://localhost:6080 and see if that runs. If it does, then try http://99.99.99.99:6080, where 99.99.99.99 is the IP address of the host as reported by ipconfig.
