Any hints is appreciated
Thank you

See Ticket #2808. The work-around is to downgrade to 2.0.6 until 2.1.0 is out.

FYI, this problem still exists in 2.1.0 (as described in the ticket, it was fixed on trunk while 2.1.0 was out) and so 2.0.6 must still be used until the next version. I was using 2.1.0 and had this same problem.

I'm rather surprised that Sun doesn't have a test harness to catch something as integral as port forwarding!

Sorry for my typo. Since we were discussing a bug in 2.1.0, I hope you realised that I meant until 2.1.2.

Thanks Terry, I realized what you meant but my comment was more for others who read the topic just to avoid possible confusion.
