JBoss AS 7 not accepting remote connections

The answer is to edit standalone.xml and insert the tag any-address instead of inet-address bound to 127.0.0.1

<interfaces>
    <interface name="management">
        <inet-address value="127.0.0.1"/>
    </interface>
    <interface name="public">
       <any-ipv4-address/>
    </interface>
</interfaces>

I changed the 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to 0.0.0.0 in standalone.xml. It works. Just be aware of the security.

<interfaces>
    <interface name="management">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>
    </interface>
    <interface name="public">
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}"/>
    </interface>
    <!-- TODO - only show this if the jacorb subsystem is added  -->
    <interface name="unsecure">
        <!--
          ~  Used for IIOP sockets in the standard configuration.
          ~                  To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL 
          -->
        <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:0.0.0.0}"/>
    </interface>
</interfaces>
