What exactly do you mean by "administrator"? What exact URL are you using from the alternate machines? What exactly happens when you try? (In case you haven't figured it out yet, you need to be specific when you report problems.) > I can see various hal9000 shared directories from windows > explorer, including the tomcat home on hal9000. Not really relevant; that just shows Windows networking to be functional, which uses different mechanisms to resolve host names. > what I am doing wrong. 1) Is the name "hal9000" known via DNS to the other machines? 2) Try using the fully qualified DNS name of the target machine. 3) Try using the IP address of the target machine. 4) Insure that firewalls on hal9000 and the other machines are not blocking connections. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
