Answer 1

Sounds like a firewall problem (firewalls silently drop packets that are not allowed, which is why you would be seeing a Connection Timeout.

Can you try

H:\> telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
Connecting To smtp.gmail.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25
: Connect failed

on your server and see whether you get a connection? (I'm behind a firewall here that does not allow connections to gmail)

Answer 2

While running in jboss check whether your running using run.bat -b 0.0.0.0.

If not try and it should work fine.
