Doug. Is your tomcat on port 80 or port 8080 ...
You say > If I try http://192.168.1.100:8080/, it works. Does http://192.168.1.100/ (i.e. default http port 80 equivalent to http://192.168.1.100:80/) work ? If both the above work, what is at port 80? IIS ? Apache? and what are you using to 'route' between post 80 and port 8080? Is that configured OK to work with your public IP address? If there's not 'routing' between 80 and 8080 Then, does http://thepublicipaddress:8080/ work - (this may well have been stopped by the isp's firewall). If it does, you may want to start tomcat on port 80 ?? Look in conf/server.xml for line that starts <Connector port="8080" and change it to <Connector port="80" Hope this helps.
