I tried port forwarding 8080 traffic to my server box via my Linksys Router. It worked for 27000+ for HalfLife2 to my Alienware, so I figured I could just do the same.
Should I instead port forward port 80 as well or instead? Or should I do this using Tomcat instead of my router... or both? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Spaulding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 7:36 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on Tomcat You tried forwarding 8080?
