java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: Connection timed out

870997Mar 17 2012 — edited Mar 19 2012

OK, I am getting the dreaded java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: Connection timed out

I've been googling for solutions for a while and no success, although lots of people have been in this boat before.

java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 169.254.105.9; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I can ping the server from the client. I can telnet to 169.254.105.9 1099 just fine. I have disabled all the firewalls I can think of - although corporate policy is we have to run McAfee and I seem to have no control over that. When I run the client and server on the same system using localhost everything works fine.

Can anyone think of any other things I could try to figure out why my RMI won't connect? Are there any more diagnostics I can try?

Cheers, Eric
