Newbie..localhost works but not IP

Hi I am total tomcat Newbie..I tried a lot to search for an effective
solution for this problem but could not find the solution:

I have installed Tomcat 6 on my Windows Xp machine. http://localhost:8080/
works. When I enter http://[myIPaddress]:8080/ from my machine this too
works. But when I enter http://[myIPaddress]:8080/ from a different machine,
I not able to see the Tomcat homepage. Please provide me a few pointers on
this issue.

Thanks a lot,
Anna

If the different machine is on the same LAN segment, the XP firewall may
well be blocking the port.  You'll have to open up 8080 using the
Windows Firewall utility in Control Panel.  If the other machine is not
on the same LAN segment, something else may be blocking the port, such
as your router or your ISP.

if you're trying to access tomcat running on your pc via the internet you'll
need to open ports on your router. If both PCs are behind the same router
then you should be able to type in your IP and get tomcat. In any case, you
should try google for help with networking, the mailing list is for tomcat
issues.

The different machine is on the same network or is an external one? Did
you setup your router? There is maybe a firewall on the "different
machine" try to ckeck it out first

Hello Anna,

Can you ping this other machine??

You can try to add the host name and ip address (Machine that has Tomcat) on
your hosts file. "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" 

Have you tried to use the hostname instead of the IP Address??

I have a similar issue when I installed a WMWare environment along with
Tomcat, ERP Systems and Databases.

I hope that this helps.

Regards,

Bruno
