Network-Related Troubleshooting (GUI)

LifeKeeper uses Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) for communications between GUI clients

and servers. Some potential problems may be related to RMI, and others are general network

configuration problems.

Long Connection Delays on Windows Platforms

From Sun FAQ:

Most likely, your host's networking setup is incorrect. RMI uses the Java API networking classes, in

particular java.net.InetAddress, which will cause TCP/IP host name lookups for both host to address

mapping and address to hostname. On Windows, the lookup functions are performed by the native

Windows socket library, so the delays are not happening in RMI but in the Windows libraries. If your

host is set up to use DNS, then this could be a problem with the DNS server not knowing about the

hosts involved in communication, and what you are experiencing are DNS lookup timeouts. If this is

the case, try specifying all the hostnames/addresses involved in the file

\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. The format of a typical host file is:
