Can only view pages on localhost

    I am a new user of Tomcat.  In my test system I have pc's networked via
a wireless router.  The router assigns the IP address of 192.168.0.2 to the
machine that runs Tomcat.  When I run Tomcat using http://localhost/... or
http://192.168.0.2/... everything works fine when I work on the local
machine.  But when I attempt to view web pages from any other machine on the
network using http://192.168.0.2/... I get timed out.  
 
    How should I configure Tomcat so that it accepts requests from other
machines -- not just localhost?

Utter hogwash.  By default, Tomcat listens on 0.0.0.0 - which means it accepts connections over any IP address configured for the system's TCP/IP stack.

Please don't propagate erroneous information.

U have to change the Tomcat startup script to say that accept
connections from outside world. I am not sure of the exact setting but
the User docs should lend u some light regarding this.

You don't mention operating system, tomcat version, jdk version - all of 
which would make it easier to help you.

However, one wild guess is that you have a firewall which is preventing 
the other networked machine(s) from accessing the tomcat instance.
