I'm new to RMI and I'm trying to implement it for a small game; however when I try to run it, it doesn't work and I've spent a lot of time to understand why, but I still haven't figured it out. Maybe some of you have something similar happened to them

This is the client:



this is the server:




and this is the error that it's showed when I try to run it

Try defining "HOST" as "localhost" instead of as "127.0.0.1".

Also check to make sure that you don't have a firewall blocking RMI calls. The "netstat" command can be used to determine if your RMI server is running properly.

Changing "127.0.0.1" into "localhost" worked! Thank you for your help

The documentation was imprecise. Where it said "host", it should properly have said "(resolvable) hostname".

The getRegistry was attempting to locate a host with the name of "127.0.0.1" instead of the address of 127.0.0.1, so it failed.

Apparently there's no getResistry call for an IP address, but if you don't supply any arguments, localhost is the default.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
