I had exactly the same symptoms, and changing the ORB listener IP for the network address of the main network interface worked for me too - after a re-start of GlassFish (v2).
My next problem is that the web start application uses Web Services, but I get a version mismatch like this:

Adding JAX-WS 2.1 to the .ear didn't help, any suggestions how to specify the correct class path for the Web Start application please?
