rmi connection problem

[VisionSet]

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

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

I don't know what else I could say to make it any clearer.

Anyhow I've solved it calling:

System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx");

on the server.
