I am so tired of this problem. It is one of many quirks and problems with JADE.

The problem you are facing is that you need to supply correct host information in the command line. Example

java jade.Boot -gui -local-host

This is all described here: http://jade.tilab.com/doc/tutorials/JADEAdmin/startJade.html

In many cases you don’t have this problem and then it is sufficient to use the -gui option only. However I have discovered that Jade does not work very well when your resolves to 127.0.1.1. You can fix this by setting your IP address in or if you are on Linux edit your /etc/hosts file for a more permanent solution.
