JBoss only works on localhost:8080

As I was playing around with JBoss 6 and I found that by default it only binds to localhost. ie.: If you type in your machine's name and port into the browsers address bar ("http://machine:8080") it won't respond. To make this work you need to add the "-b yourip" parameter on startup. For example on windows it would look like this standalone.bat -b 192.168.1.64 You can also configure this in the standalone.xml

You can also find some further reading in the documentation .
