Newbie: Connection refused first time on Tomcat

["Bruce E. Stemplewski" <Br...@stempsoft.com>]

I just installed Tomcat for the first time ever so please forgive the 
newbie question.  I installed Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 Server and J2RE JSE 
5.0 on an XP operating system.  Tomcat starts up fine but when I try to 
go to the Welcome page, or the Manager Page.  I get "The connection was 
refused attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080"  in FireFox, IE gives me 
this page cannot be displayed. 


I check the Tomcat logs and the  stdout log has a few entries that read:

This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0
or later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and
installing a compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat
binary download page.


Any ideas what I should look at first?
