How to access MyWebApp from another computer through the internet

[Yvan Hurtado <hu...@gmail.com>]

Hello,


I have my web application working correctly with http://localhost:8080.
Yet, I cannot access it from another computer trough internet. I've change
'localhost' to the computer's ip where tomcat 5.5.33 is installed:
http://192.168.1.111:8080/myWebApp/

I'm new with tomcat so I dont know much. I've browse a lot of forums and
trough the built in documentation of tomcat and the clues lead me to think
it has something to do with Host, context, virtual host... I really don't
know
I haven't change anything, I just copied MyWebApp.war file to the webapps
directory of tomcat....


How do I make my WebApp accessible from another pc through the internet?


WinXp Pro Sp3
Tomcat 5.5.33

Thanks in advance.

Two things you'll need to do:  Make sure your ISP and router are 
configured to allow requests to port 8080 to get through to the machine 
tomcat is running on.  Then you need to add a Network Address 
Translation or port forwarding entry to allow the internet to "see" your 
machine.  192.168.*.* are not publicly routable addresses, and you will 
not be able to connect from the internet using them.
