Ok the host is slighty suspect as in I'm not sure I can access it.
But I've been told I can.
I can run 'telnet host port' without an access denied
I just want to make sure there's nothing in my code stopping this.

I'm doing this:

(RemoteServerService) Naming.lookup(
    "rmi://" + host + ":"
    + port + "/" + RemoteServerImpl.SERVICE_NAME));

and that goes through ok with no exceptions

but when I actually call a remote method I get a:

Caused by: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1;
nes
ted exception is:
       java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
       at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPEndpoint.newSocket(TCPEndpoint.java:574)
       at
sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(TCPChannel.java:185
)
       at

cationHandler.java:132)
       at $Proxy0.login(Unknown Source)
       at
myfoo.server.RemoteServerAdapter.login(RemoteServerAdapter.java:87
)

Why is the host given as localhost and not the host I do Naming.lookup under

What can I do to trace the problem?

TIA
