What you can do is define a dynamic dns service at a provider such as dyndns.org.

What is the IP address of the machine you have the tomcat server running on. What is the port you are running tomcat on?

The IP allocated to your machine must be STATIC. If you built a internet site then ask your internet service provider to allocate a static IP to your machine.

RE: How to access web site from other computers
Not wishing to be fussy but you don't have to have a static IP. You can have a dynamic IP and there are various companies that will manage this for free https://www.dyndns.org/ Some routers like my UK BT ADSL modem come with functionality that notifies dyndns as soon as the dynamic IP changes. -Original Message- From: Ramu, Vinod [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 March 2005 16:32 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: How to access web site from other computers The IP allocated to your machine must be STATIC. If you built a internet site then ask your internet service provider to allocate a static IP to your machine. Otherwise, if you have built a intranet site talk to your system administrator, probably he will find a domain controller. -Original Message- From: U K Laxmi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 11:13 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: How to access web site from other computers I've a web application developed using apache and tomcat on windows 2000 machine.

RE: How to access web site from other computers
OK. There have been suggestions that you get a static ip address. If your internet service provider will assign you a static ip address, that will solve your problem if you are trying to access the tomcat service using a domain name. However if your internet service provider is unwilling to provide a static IP address, which is the case for most providers, you still can access the tomcat service from the internet. What you can do is define a dynamic dns service at a provider such as dyndns.org. You can set up a dynamic dns service where the ip address is updated from a program you install on your local windows machine using one of their domains. You have several choices of such programs available on the dyndns.org site. The program you install on your local windows machine detects when the IP address of your local machine changes. The program then sends the new IP address to the dyndns.org service and the ip address of the dynamic dns service you set up with them is automatically updated. This service is free for a limited number of machines. You could also buy a domain name from a domain name service provider. Dyndns.org does sell domain names also. You can then define a dynamic dns service with dyndns.org just the same as described above using your domain. I believe dyndns.org will charge you an annual fee for using your own domain name. Let me know if this helps. As a side issue you can access the tomcat service on your local windows machine from another computer on the internet in a test situation with out establishing a dynamic dns account. You can do this by entering a record in the hosts file of the computer from which you wish to access the tomcat service. I expect you to find the host file at: c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/host or c:/winnt/system32/drivers/etc/host. Enter a line in the form: domainname ipaddress Supply your domain name for the host account defined in tomcat configuration for domainname. Do not include the or the characters. Localhost will not work. If you have not defined a host other than localhost in tomcat configuration, you will have to define another host account. Supply the ip address assigned to your machine where tomcat is running for ipaddress. Do not include the or the characters. Here is an example how the line should look: jimstudebaker.org 65.254.62.178 Then save the host file. Open the IE and type in the url http://domainname:8080/. This assumes your tomcat port is the default 8080. This obviously not a general permanent solution, since the internet dns servers do not have a record for the entry you put in the host file. It is a quick and easy way to test access to the service from another machine on the internet however. Good luck. Let me know if this was of help. The machine is connected to internet thro' broadband connection. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: An answer to this question would require a little more information.

Re: How to access web site from other computers
It sounds like you may have a firewall issue. Make sure that all software or hardware firewalls in the path are configured to allow the IP address and port you're sending from. Also make sure your router is configured to rout IP packets from the WAN interface to the IP address on your LAN that the Tomcat host is using. As far as static IPs, I use cox cable as my ISP and I'm paying for service that only provides dynamic IP, but they actually implement it as static (mostly). Their DHCP server reserves IP addresses for each MAC address, so as long as I expose the same network hardware to the ISP I get the same IP address. Don't know if other ISPs do this, but thought I'd mention it. U K Laxmi wrote: I've a web application developed using apache and tomcat on windows 2000 machine.

RE: How to access web site from other computers
Thank you for the detailed info. I appreciate it. May be, in future i may go for a static IP address. But for testing purposes, i would like to do some wrok around specified by you. I went to www.dyndns.org and selected 'Dynamic DNS' and did whatever it asked me to. I'm able to access it locally. ie. http://dummy.dnsalias.net/web/JSP/login.html But not from other computers (one at office). I'm able to ping to this machine. But not able to see the web application. Is this is a firewall issue? How can i identify what are the firewalls/spywares running in my system and how to allow the IP Address to be visible. Pls help. Thanks to everyone for the answers. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK. There have been suggestions that you get a static ip address.
