ActiveMQ doesnt work remotely

Question

I m able to run consumer/producer code on the same solaris box. But once I move my consumer over to a JWS over Windows, IT just doesnt work..
Any of you know why , because of swing, jWs, or OS incompatiliably ?
this is the consumer part: ( producer is okay )
