You should be able to just put the computers IP address into your browser but with the port number attached.
http://192.168.1.100:8080 (or whatver the ip is of the machine running tomcat) if you're viewing it on the machine running tomcat just go to http://localhost:8080 in both these cases you will see the tomcat admin screen. If you wish to go straight to the apps (i.e. samples.war would have been exploded into a samples directory) then go to http://192.168.1.100:8080/samples/ That should work fine ;) andrew --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had a bunch of Java, Ant, Cygwin, and other assorted server-side products > that I have no clue what they do still installed on my server box; admin at > work had me install them to work from home.
