Please Help: remote RMI connection problem

[Manisha Kode <mkkode@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We have an application which uses RMI. The application is deployed on
Tomcat 5.0.  There is an applet which tries connecting to teh
application using RMI

Working on the server... everything works fine. Trying to access same
application remotely gives us an error.
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 10.10.10.10;
nested exception is:

We did not have a command line option in the beginning to specify the
rmi host ip address. when we add that we get
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 24.111.111.114;
nested exception is:

thats the ip address of the server (changed for example). Since we
added this option the application does not work on the server either..
so i guess that is not the solution..

Where does it get the 10.10.10.10.. Why the naming.lookup is not able
to find the correct remote object id?

i have been trying different things to get this working ..my brain is
dead now.. cant think straight.. all help is appreciated..
