Jrun cfusion Server Stops Running After Computer Restart

Fairly new to ColdFusion, but I have been able to get it running and working.  However, I recently rebooted my computer and found that the Jrun cfusion server had stopped running.  Restarting the services via Windows timed out and led to the same issue.  Rebooting my computer again to have the OS restart the services also led to the same issue (cfusion server offline).

After a long time scouring the web with no luck, I attempted to troubleshoot the issue of starting Jrun from the command line.  This revealed a gleam of light as it said there was some issue with the server host name of the JDBC Resources (found in Jrun Admin).  This was puzzling to me because I had the exact same resources on a different computer and experienced no issues.

Finally, after digging into the Jrun4 directory, I came across the xml file that actually stored the JDBC Resources information.  Being curious, I deleted all of the resources from the xml file and stopped the Jrun Admin and Jrun Cfusion services (timed out, yet again).  But then I started them back up with no problem.  The services started up within 10 seconds.  I went back into Jrun Admin to re-add the JDBC Resources the exact same way I had done previously and now everything (ColdFusion) works again.

However, my issue is this.  It seems that nearly every time I reboot my computer, the cfusion server goes offline and leads me back to the first issue (above).  I implement my "solution" and it works again for the time being.  Why is this happening on this computer and not the other computer?  Why is the cfusion server shutting down?

Any help or direction is appreciated.

    What are the details of this set-up: Operating System, web server and ColdFusion build? What are the differences  between this and your other computer?

    Could be your firewall blocking ColdFusion. To test, disable your firewall and restart.

    My Windows Firewall isn't actually even running.  I believe my  company has a firewall running, but other people with the same setup are  not experiencing this problem.
