Spring RMI: handleRemoteConnectFailure

I have a RMI client/server configuration created with Spring 3.0.

When client and server run on the same machine at the url:

  rmi://localhost:1099/myService
 

everything is ok. When I run the client on a different machine (server run now on 192.168.1.67) and the client "points" to:

  rmi://192.168.1.67:1099/myService 
 

I can see this error message from the client:

  org.spring...RmiClientInterceptor handlerRemoteConnectFailure. 
   Could not connect to Rmi Service [rmi://192.1681.67:1099/myService]
 

The server is configured in this way:

    <bean id="myService" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiServiceExporter">
        <property name="service" ref="myService"/>
        <property name="serviceInterface" value="org.myapp.MyService"/>
        <property name="serviceName" value="myService"/>
        <property name="alwaysCreateRegistry" value="true"/>
     </bean>
 
     <bean id="myService" class="org.myapp.MyServiceImpl" />
 

and the client:

    RmiProxyFactoryBean rpfb = new RmiProxyFactoryBean();
     rpfb.setServiceInterface(MyService.class);
     rpfb.setLookupStubOnStartup(true);
     rpfb.setRefreshStubOnConnectFailure(true);
     RMICustomClientSocketFactory socketFactory = new RMICustomClientSocketFactory();
     socketFactory.setTimeout(5000);
     rpfb.setRegistryClientSocketFactory(socketFactory);
     rpfb.setServiceUrl(getRmiUrl(address, port));
     rpfb.afterPropertiesSet();
 

I checked with a sniffer the port 1099 of the server, and when the client starts its process I can see some data "dispatched" on the server side:

 JRMI..K
  ...192.168.1.65..
  ..192.168.1.65....

My question is: Why if client & server run on the same machine, everything is ok but on different machines I get this problem? and how to fix it?

My Answer:

I run the server on windows and client on linux (ubuntu) and everything was ok.
When I run the server on linux and client on windows I get the problem.

My fix is running the server with: -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.1.67 on Linux.
