Hi everyone - I am real green on the Tomcat configuration. I am trying to develop a Browser based app to run on our network. I installed TC3.3 on a WIN98 machine (server). I can access the JSP examples locally through localhost8080. I cannot do this from another machine on the network - even by specifying the servers ip address in the URL. The server is visible on the network and I can copy files to and from it. What is preventing me from connecting to this machine with a browser on another computer within the same network? Is there some Tomcat config issues? TCP/IP settings? Help
Thanks rob

It could be that your intranet has 'locked down' the ports, which includes 8080.

You can still copy files from machine to machine, because well.. a network would be pretty useless if you couldn't. The windows file sharing operates over a different protocol.

I would suggest to turn off your internet or intranet setting which might be running through proxy server and then run tomcat and try to access it through the i.p. of that computer.
Hope it helps.
