Can't start rmiregistry from application

Question

Hi!
This is my code, which works, when I start rmiregistry from command-line:
public class RemoteDBStarter extends RMIStarter {
  private final static int PORT = 2359;
  private final static String NAME = "DB";
  public RemoteDBStarter() {
    super(RemoteDBInterface.class);
  public void serverOrClientContinue() {
    try {
      RemoteDBInterface db = new RemoteDB();
      RemoteDBInterface stub = (RemoteDBInterface)UnicastRemoteObject
          .exportObject(db, PORT);
      Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
      registry.rebind(NAME, stub);
    catch(Exception e) {
      //TODO
      e.printStackTrace();
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new RemoteDBStarter();
}But when I try to add createRegistry
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(PORT);
RemoteDBInterface db = new RemoteDB();
RemoteDBInterface stub = (RemoteDBInterface)UnicastRemoteObject
    .exportObject(db, PORT);I get exception
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 10.x.x.x; nested exception is:

System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", "localhost");but it gives me same exception, as if it didn't even look for this property. Any suggestions?

I'm getting lost here, so I'll put whole code once more:
Server
public class RemoteDBStarter {
  private final static int PORT = 1099;
  private final static String NAME = "DB";
  private static Registry registry;
  public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                                SQLException {
    System.setProperty("java.security.policy",
        "D:/work/data/allow_all.policy");
    if(System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
      System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());
    try {
      registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(PORT);
      RemoteDBInterface db = new RemoteDB();
      RemoteDBInterface stub = (RemoteDBInterface)UnicastRemoteObject
          .exportObject(db, PORT);
      registry.rebind(NAME, stub);
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}Client
public class Client {
  private final static int PORT = 1099;
  private final static String NAME = "DB";
  private static Registry registry;
  public void callForData() {
    try {
      registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(PORT);
      System.out.println(registry);
      RemoteDBInterface stub = (RemoteDBInterface)registry.lookup(NAME);
      stub.retrieveDBTable();
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}Console after calling callForData() method
RegistryImpl_Stub[UnicastRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[x.x.x.x:1099](remote),objID:[0:0:0, 0]]]]
