Got it working.

This is what I did and it worked on both machines.

I did an ipconfig from the command prompt to find the DNS suffix. Mine was tampabay.rr.com

I then got my computer name by right clicking properties on my computer and went to computer name.

I then combined it so computername.tampabay.rr.com

I then went to c:\windows\system32\drivers\config\etc and edited the hosts file.

I added an entry that looks like this

127.0.0.1 computername.tampabay.rr.com

AND IT WORKED!!!

I guess what the JRE is doing is trying to find an entry for your computer in the DNS. Without that it won't BIND.

I hope others out there on the net that had this problem find this on google etc so they can find out exactly what to do. Feel free to add a reply : )
