Hi Justin, thanks for fast reply! I'm sorry but I'm rookie on Tomcat. What I've written is what happens, i.e. when I try to connect to Tomcat server typing localhost address (http://localhost:port) all works. If I type in the browser my IP address (http://myIP:port) the server doesn't accept any connections.
Either is my mistake or there is a configuration setting that forces Tomcat to accept connection only from localhost (e.g. a security option). However If you want I could post my Tomcat Configuration Files.
