Andrea, Let's say you install tomcat on machine A, (your server), and your network administrator has given that machine the address of 192.168.0.7.
You and want to reach the server from a machine B, your workstation. All you need to do (assuming they are on the same network and properly configured, which are NOT tomcat issues) is sit down at the workstation, machine B, and open your browser. Enter the address of the server (here, 192.168.0.7:8080). Thats it. No "address"=xxx.xxx.xxx field is needed. Ommit them from your server.xml file unless you plan to have your server host virtual domains based on IP address. "Usually" a machine only has one IP address, but even so, if you do not set up the address parameter in your server.xml file, tomcat should listen to all the network devices on the server and respond to your requests to each of the IP's. If this does not answer your question, either I misunderstood it altogether and you need to be more specific about what you are trying to do, or you might try a brief chapter on basic networking in any good "internet,how it works" type reference book. Or a good linux reference book, same chapter.
