RMI Works In One Direction, But Not When Config Flipped

Hi All,

Interesting problem: I have an SSL-RMI server, running either as an application, or as a service using JS Wrapper, on PC-A, correctly serving content to a client running on PC-B.

But when I flip the configuration, such that PC-B is now hosting an SSL-RMI server, PC-A's client is consistently showing a "connection refused" error, and will not connect whenever I attempt to run it as a service on PC-B.

The strange thing is that I can run this server on PC-B as an application from the command-line or from within NetBeans, but again, as soon as I am running it as a service, using JS Wrapper, PC-A shows "connection refused".

I've opened firewalls per the instructions found here:

but these are simply two locally connected PC's, so what's the problem?

PC-A: Windows XP Home Ed: 192.168.1.100

PC-B: Windows XP Pro Ed: 192.168.1.102

Does it show connection refused to the correct hostname/IP address? Could be the dreaded Linux 127.0.0.1 problem.
