As title says, I can't contact my EJB from a distant machine. The client trying to contact the EJB-hosting machine works perfectly when used locally.
The remote machine is on Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) with Java JRE 7_71. It's connected to the same network as the machine running the EJB on a Glasshfish server.
The second machine (which is running the Glasshfish server) runs on Win7 x64. Are installed JDK 1.7_75, JDK 1.8_25, jre1.8.0_25 and JRE 7_71.
All firewalls are disabled. No proxies used. Just 2 machines behind a router connected to internet.
I'm programming with NetBeans 8.0.2, with a Glasshfish server 4.1.
Here's what it looks like : https://i.stack.imgur.com/XLHk9.jpg
"ABEJB" is my EJB. In Properties > Sources, the "Source / Binary Format is JDK 7. In Properties > Libraries, I added the JDBC driver (works well) and set the Java Platform to "JDK 1.7". Note : When I'm deploying my EJB on Glassfish, I got these infos :
Infos: Portable JNDI names for EJB AJoyfulBean: [java:global/ABEJB/AJoyfulBean!EJB.NewSessionBeanRemote, java:global/ABEJB/AJoyfulBean]
Infos: Glassfish-specific (Non-portable) JNDI names for EJB AJoyfulBean: [ABS/AJoyfulBean#EJB.NewSessionBeanRemote, ABS/AJoyfulBean]
NewSessionBean.java :

String retour = "Connected to : " + System.getenv("COMPUTERNAME");
try
{

catch (UnknownHostException ex)
{

}
return retour;
}

"A Better Stock" is my Java application on a remote machine. In Properties > Sources, the "Source / Binary Format is JDK 7. In Properties > Libraries, I added the "Java EE from GlassFish" libraries from NetBeans and the "gf-client.jar" from the Glassfish installation repertory. The Java Platform is set to "JDK 1.7". The EJB interface is the same as my EJB (I don't get a Marchal exception anyway).
Inside a static method on my main class :
try
{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "192.168.1.164"); // the IP of the machine hosting the glassfish server
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
NewSessionBeanRemote myEJB = (NewSessionBeanRemote) ctx.lookup("java:global/ABEJB/AJoyfulBean!EJB.NewSessionBeanRemote"); // Tried "ABS/AJoyfulBean#EJB.NewSessionBeanRemote" too
jTextAreaInformations.setText(jTextAreaInformations.getText() + "\n" + myEJB.testConnexion());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
jTextAreaInformations.setText(jTextAreaInformations.getText() + "\n" + ex.toString());

When I'm running the .jar file of my client (with the /lib folder) on the machine hosting the glassfish server, my EJB is contacted and correctly do the tasks required (updating SQL tables). But when I copy the .jar file and /lib folder to the distant machine and execute it, it get this exception :
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
[Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory]
So basically, why am I getting this exception ? I'm giving the context. And anyway, it works on local but not on remote client. Weird.
