localhost:8080 only

Hi all,
 
I am new comer.  I have installed Tomcat 5.0 successfully, it shows me the welcome page when I set the URL at http://localhost:8080   . Also, it only show up on the local machine, not on the internet.  However, I would like to put my computer name instead of localhost:8080 on it, so that I can see it one the web.  Can you please tell me where to set that.
 
Thanks

I think you might have to set the DNS server.

Can you tell me the name of the configuration files and where are they located?
do they end with .cfg?
Thanks

Change the configuration file and tell it to run on port 80 (standard

location.
Any hostname that resolves to your machine will work from the public
internet. Localhost will only ever work for you. 
If your machine can't be reached from the public internet then
make sure port 80 to your machine is not being blocked by a firewall.
