Not able to access virtual machine applications in remote server.

Question

Hi All,
I am using Oracle Linux server 5.6 - 64 bit and installed all IAM 11gr2 stack and Oracle data base. I am not able to access the any Identity Management applications in remote servers (able to access in local virtual machine) but i can able to access Database Enterprise Manager application which is running in the same machine. If any one can help me on how to fix the issue really appreciate your help.
Thanks

It should work with adapter in bridged mode and firewall down. (you should however check and confirm this is the case)
A reason for why local client connections to the server s/w works, and remote ones not, can be due to IP/port binding. If the server binds its listening port on an IP (such as localhost) that is not accessible to remote clients, those clients will not be able to connect.
Have a look at what IP address(es) the listening port(s) are on: netstat -l -t -p
You should see a *:7001 entry for the relevant server process - meaning that it used INADDR_ANY when it did the port bind (binds port to all existing and future IP addresses of that platform).
If not, it means the port bind was done to a single specific IP address - and that the clients  need to be able to route and connect to that specific IP in order to get a connection with the server process.
