Forum Getting Started: Re: Exception Report

Depends On Me: java.rmi.ServerException: Could not bind home; nested exception
is:
javax.naming.CommunicationException

suggests that port 1099 (the rmi port) is inaccessible, otherwise occupied, conflicting, or blocked. If you have Windows Firewall turned on, it may be blocking java programs from accessing the network (usually when you first run a program Windows would ask 'do you wish to block/unblock this program', if you choose unblock it will add the program to the list of exceptions). Even though it's only accessing local ports on the same machine, the Windows firewall will still block it.
