RMI Client Issue

Question

Hello,
Here is my client side RMI program:
import java.rmi.*;
public class MyRemoteClient {
public static void main(String args[]) {
     MyRemoteClient mm = new MyRemoteClient();
     mm.go();
public void go(){
     try{
          MyRemote service2 = (MyRemote) Naming.lookup("rmi://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/Hello");
          String s = service2.sayHello();
          System.out.println(s);
     } catch(Exception ex){ex.printStackTrace();}
Having started RMI Registry and Service Implementor code on the server, if I try to run the above code on the client it fire the following error:
java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1; nested exception is:
     java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
     at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPEndpoint.newSocket(Unknown Source)

     at sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIDirectSocketFactory.createSocket(Unknown Source)
     at sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIMasterSocketFactory.createSocket(Unknown Source)
     ... 7 more
I am wondering as to why is it trying to connect to a local host 127.0.1.1 instead of the IP Address specified at by"xxx.xx.xx.xx" in the program?
I have the stub class and the service interface classes on my client-side.
Thanks.
