Can access tomcat locally but not from another machine
New to Tomcat and have an initial problem:
Can access tomcat locally but not from another machine
Setup is :
Two machines (Host and Client) connected to a corporate intranet
Host (Win XP) is running Tomcat 4.1.27 installed from binary distribution
Installation verified by accessing the tomcat default page using
http://localhost:8080/index.jsp
Using ping both ways I have verified that both machines are ping'able
from each other
When accessing tomcat on Host from the Client (Win 2000)
http://xxx.yyy.zzz.www:8080/index.jsp (actual IP adress hidden in this mail)
I get an TCP error message page :
"There was a communication problem. The system was unable to communicate with the server."
I have no overview of the network components in use between the two machines
Suppose it is
either
a network configuration problem (My company is very strict on security issues)
or
a tomcat configuration problem
Any suggestions ?
Geir :-)

Or it could be that the xp firewall is turned on an not allowing the
8080 connection externally.

If your company is hot on security, the most likely cause is that port 8080
is blocked (possibly at the router). Ask your admin guys about freeing it
for internal network access or try running Tomcat on port 80. Ping doesn't
use TCP so you won't experience the same connectivity problems.
