TomEE Service will not allow to access the application from another LAN Machine

Question

I have deployed my webapps in apache-tomee-plus-1.5.1 and start the server using startup.bat in a windows VM. It's working fine and accessible from any other LAN machine using VM's ip, ie, 192.168.1.236:8080/archiva.

Now, I want to install the server as a service. For that I have install a service using "service.bat install Archiva" command. When I start the service the application is working fine using localhost/192.168.1.236 from the VM. But not accessible from other LAN machine. FYI, when I start the service the tomcat home page is shown after hitting 192.168.1.236:8080.

Please help.
