using ip address instead of localhost

2002-12-17 Thread Kao Li-LIKAO1
Hi,

   I just setup tomcat and I'm having problems getting to the index.jsp page
if I
use the ip address of the machine instead of localhost. I am behind a
firewall at
work, but I would think that you should be able to access it within the
firewall. 
I've also tried this at home with my DSL and everything works fine. Anything
obvious
I missing? Thanks fo the help in advance.

Actually, I am using an internal network IP address. I am actually trying
to access the page on the same machine as the server. The localhost works 
fine and hostname of the machine also works, but not the ip address. Do you
think DNS has anything to do with it?

If you are trying to access the IP from within your firewall, try using an
internal network IP address, instead of an external IP.

It is often the case that trying to make a request for your external IP
from an Internal machine wont work... (the theory being that you should not
need to do this because you should have an internal IP address for the
machine you are trying to use)..

Hope that helps.
