Answer 1

If you want JBoss to communicate on all IP addresses that are on the machine, then you can start it with the -b option passing 0.0.0.0 as the ip address, e.g.

-b 0.0.0.0

Probably better is binding to the specific IP address that you want to. You can do this again by using the -b option, but passing the IP address you want to bind to or the DNS name you want to bind to, e.g.

-b 192.168.0.1

or -b jbosshostname

You can put the -b option in the run.bat file so it is used automatically if you are running JBoss as a service - assuming Windows. If you are not using Windows, you can place this option in the run.sh file.

If you do not wish to put the -b option in the run.sh/bat file, you can enter it at the command line:

run.bat -b 192.168.0.1
