Thanx a lot for your answer. To be exact i call the following method
   public static void configureSockets (final int timeout)
   {
      try
      {
         RMISocketFactory.setSocketFactory(new RMISocketFactory()
         {
            public Socket createSocket(String host, int port) throws IOException
            {
               Socket socket = new Socket(host, port);
               socket.setSoTimeout(timeout);
               socket.setSoLinger(false, 0);
               return socket;
            }

            public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port) throws IOException
            {
               return new ServerSocket(port);
            }
         });
      }
      catch (IOException e)
      {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
         e.printStackTrace();
      }

   }

One question remains. When to call the Method? Before any Naming.lookup() i think.
What i didnt mention is... I create the RMI Registry within my application with

Registry registry = java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.createRegistry(registryPort);

Calling the configureSockets method before or after didnt work.

So what do i do wrong?

Greets,
Volker
