The IP address resolves to the hostname and vice versa. There is no masking going on. and this box is not natted. What is really strange is that my tomcat instance was working just fine yesterday, then we rebooted this box (it's a development server, gets rebooted all the time) and now it doesn't work and I continue to get that error.
The hostname is md11 -----Original Message----- From: John Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:32 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: tomcat error The address Tomcat is trying to use to startup does not exist on the machine. This can happen if you are using NAT or have some other address masking/forwarding going on. Are you sure that the IP address Tomcat is using exists on the machine? If you've given Tomcat a hostname, does the IP address that the hostname resolves to exist on the machine? What hostname are you using?
