[JBoss-user] [Beginners Corner] - localhost bind?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

When I start jboss' tomcat container, it binds to port 8080 on localhost. I can't access it from any other machine. As this is a headless server, which has a webapplication that's supposed to be publicly accessible, this won't work very well for my purpose. The startup log is below:

The boldfaced line is key. What I've tried so far:
My nameserver lists Hasan-Diwans-Computer.local as 127.0.0.1; I changed that to 192.168.0.153 (the server's external IP address) to no go.
To verify existence of the problem:
[on localhost]
Hasan-Diwans-Computer: 12:41pm %nc -vvv -w 5 localhost 8080                 [~]
localhost [127.0.0.1] 8080 (http-alt) open
get / http/1.1

HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version Not Supported
Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2005 20:41:57 GMT
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Connection: close

[on a remote host on the same subnet]
Hasans-iBook: 12:42pm %nc -vvv  -w 5 192.168.0.153 8080                     [~]
hasan.wits2020.net [192.168.0.153] 8080 (http-alt) : Operation timed out
 sent 0, rcvd 0

Note, this has nothing to do with any code I've written; it's the stock JBoss 3.2.6 which Apple provides on the Panther CDROM. I also tried to manually install a version of JBoss 4 and it exhibited the same error. 
I took note of the "jboss.bind.address" property in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml, I tried to set it to 192.168.0.153 and still got the results as above. 
As a last chance, I located the "Engine" tag in the same file and tried to change its "host" attribute to "server" (the server's DNS name), "server.hasan.wits2020.net" (server's FQDN), and "192.168.0.153" (the server's IP -- verified using ifconfig). Here, it gives unknown host. 
At this point, I have exhausted all the possibilities I can think of, so I turn it over to you -- the wise people of the JBoss forum -- for assistance. Thanks in advance!
