I tried using suggestion for java.naming.provider.url using the IP address of the server and I still get the exact same result. I do have ports 1099 and 4444 forwarded to my server on the server side, and the same on the client side for the client (I don't think it's necessary but it can't hurt). Furthermore both machines are in the DMZ which I verified.
The VPN suggestion is a good one. But I hate to set up a VPN just because I can't configure JBossMQ to work with firewalls. SwiftMQ claims their JMS server works fine with firewalls so I think I'm going to their product to see how it compares to JBossMQ. Thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate the help. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. Michael PS: I can't use FreeSwan because for now I'm testing with windows machines, we don't have a testing environment set up yet (which will be Linux). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dave Smith Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 7:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] JBossMQ with firewalls In your jndi.properties did you add java.naming.provider.url=<remote machine> This will tell JNDI to make a network lookup via RMI. Note that on the office firewall you will have to forward ports 1099 and 4444 to the machine hosting jboss. I would suggest get freeswan(www.freeswan.org) VPN running between the two networks. Saves having to dealing with the firewalls. Also once you forward those ports they will be open to the entire world.
