Hi Ray.
"localhost" is just that - it is accessible only to the local machine.
In order to make your server accessible to other machines you need to specify it's
IP address in the server.xml file.
In the connectors section of "server.xml" you need to replace "127.0.0.1" with
the IP of your machine.
<!-- Normal HTTP -->
<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
<Parameter name="handler"
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
<Parameter name="inet" value="127.0.0.1"/>
<Parameter name="port" value="8080"/>
</Connector>
Once you've done this a restarted you can access your webserver remotely by
specifying the actuall IP and port number in use.
Hope that helps.
Pete.
