<!-- Snip entire thread --> Eureka, I finally figured it out! It was a real eureka moment, some remembrance burned its way up from my subconscious and I had the answer. Ready guys? Really surprised no one mentioned it. It was Windows F-ing Firewall!!!!! Since the server is hosted at AWS and I in no way trust their minimal firewall they refer to as "security groups" (just a bunch of iptables rules), I left the Windows Firewall up and running. I haven't figured out a rule to apply to Tomcat in general, so I have to set up a rule for each Tomcat instance (tied to the bin\commons_deamon_name.exe file) and I hadn't done that for the new install. Considering it's been a year since I had to do one of these, I completely forgot about that step (doing it without my notes). Once I did that for my new install, BINGO! It also explains why the re-install of Tomcat 6 didn't work, since I was using a different service name. If I re-installed with the old service name, then it "mysteriously" worked, because the old firewall rule was still in existance.
Thanks for following me down this rabbit hole. I hope not to lead you down another anytime soon.
