--rpc-endpoint 0.0.0.0:8090
in your light wallet ws://127.0.0.1:8090

EDIT: and i think it would better to use the config.ini ....at least thats how i run it

Does China's great firewall blocks port 8090 and other non-standard ports?

Few things to consider

1. You don't need to specify the seed node because they are built in
2. Make sure you built a witness from the bitshares-2 repo and not graphene
3. check your netstat to see if 127.0.0.1 is binding the 8090 port... but also check your status log to see if it confirmed the port.

Hope something of this helps.
