Connection refused when attempt to contact myUsename.myDns.com:8080

[dcausevi <dc...@mailbox.syr.edu>]

I want to use Tomcat with its own HTTP web server without having to use it 
with Apache HTTP web server but I run into a problem when accessing Tomcat 
from outside.
Everything works just fine as long as I am using web browser from my local 
machine via http://localhost:8080, but I get "Connection refused" error 
message if I try from any other machine on the internet (from the computer at 
my work) via DNS name http://dcausevic.homelinux.com:8080

By the way everything is okay with my DNS name since I am able to access 
everything served by Apache HTTP via http://dcausevic.homelinux.com (using 
default port 80), but Tomcat is not reachable thru the same DNS and different 
port (I configured server.xml to use 8080 port).

Everything works fine accessing from http://localhost:8080 locally but 
http://dcausevic.homelinux.com:8080 would not work from outside? How do I 
check if Tomcat is actually listening on port 8080 from outside? To me it 
looks like it is not listening to outside requests... Please someone help me 
figure out what is happening here. Thanks
