Thanks Ariel. This is the info I gather using netstat. I don't even see port 8080 listed (which might not mean a thing I guess).
netstat -a yields Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP omega-device:epmap omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:microsoft-ds omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:1025 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:1027 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3091 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3599 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3689 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:4445 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:4594 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:4873 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:4876 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:5000 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3001 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3002 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3003 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:5180 omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:netbios-ssn omega-device:0 LISTENING TCP omega-device:3599 192.168.0.1:5678 CLOSE_WAIT TCP omega-device:4445 69.28.154.21:http CLOSE_WAIT TCP omega-device:4594 acs-imap.bu.edu:imap ESTABLISHED UDP omega-device:microsoft-ds *:* UDP omega-device:isakmp *:* UDP omega-device:3048 *:* UDP omega-device:3294 *:* UDP omega-device:4419 *:* UDP omega-device:4561 *:* UDP omega-device:4562 *:* UDP omega-device:ntp *:* UDP omega-device:1900 *:* UDP omega-device:3012 *:* UDP omega-device:4553 *:* UDP omega-device:4630 *:* UDP omega-device:4698 *:* UDP omega-device:ntp *:* UDP omega-device:netbios-ns *:* UDP omega-device:netbios-dgm *:* UDP omega-device:1900 *:* UDP omega-device:5353 *:* netstat -o : Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP omega-device:3599 192.168.0.1:5678 CLOSE_WAIT 1384 TCP omega-device:4445 69.28.154.21:http CLOSE_WAIT 2700 TCP omega-device:4704 mta1pub.gte.net:pop3 TIME_WAIT 0 The goal is to connect to an IP address in order to download a file. Like I said before I can't connect in IE and was told that I need to use Tomcat to get it. I can ping the IP address, so I know it's valid -- I just can't connect to http://localhost:8080/ after starting up Tomcat (a misc dns error in the grab bar of the IE window). I imagine that this precludes me from using the neccessary tools to get my job done. Any ideas based on the information from netstat as to what's going on? thanks, Reid
