I installed Jboss AS6 on my local machine and installed it as a windows service. The admin-console comes up fine and I can see everything setup correctly however I can't connect to the Queues via code from a remote computer although it works fine when i use localhost as my url. Following is the error that i'm getting

Error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: 192.168.217.1:5445 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]

After reviewing various blogs I realized that AS6 sets everything up for you by itself. For example it sets up the NettyConnectors and NettyAcceptors by default and uses port 5445 as the default. Even though I attached the hornetq-configuration.xml with the post I want to show a partial view of the hornetq-configuration.xml I have for connectors and acceptors.

<connectors>
      <connector name="netty">
         <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory</factory-class>
         <param key="host"  value="${jboss.bind.address:localhost}"/>
           <param key="port"  value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5445}"/>
      </connector>
</connectors>
 
<acceptors>   
      <acceptor name="netty">
         <factory-class>org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory</factory-class>
         <param key="host"  value="${jboss.bind.address:localhost}"/>
           <param key="port"  value="${hornetq.remoting.netty.port:5445}"/>
      </acceptor>
</acceptors>

My client is extremely simple and all im doing in the client is loading my properties, specifying the url and port and trying to get a queue as follows.

{code}
Connection connection = null;
InitialContext initialContext = null;
      
TransportConfiguration config = new TransportConfiguration();
Properties props = new Properties();
// I've tried all sorts of urls here
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.217.1:1099");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.217.1:5445");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.217.1:5445");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://ahmads-pc3:5445");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://ahmads-pc3.saccap.int:1099"); // fullname.
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://ahmads-pc3.saccap.int:5445"); // fullname.

props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "java.naming.factory.url.pkgs");
initialContext = new InitialContext(props);
ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory)initialContext.lookup("/ConnectionFactory");
{code}
