Ability to Run Servlets on Tomcat via Different PCs on a Home Network

[qmacg]

I have simple network at home and was testing an old Web App. I'm trying to access the web page that is on a different pc on my network. On the pc where the Web App resides I usually access it by starting tomcat and Mysql then goto the web browser and type..:

http://localhost:8080/AppName/StartingPage.html

But when I can access the web page from a different computer on my network, but then when the web page's links begin to access servlets, I get page not found errors. I tried //Computername/localhost:8080/AppName/StartingPage.html from a different pc, but got the same web page not found error.

What should I be typing into the web browser on the pc on my network to access the web app on a different pc?? Any Help would be appreciated..

Hi

Try

[ignore]

http://Computername:8080/AppName/StartingPage.html

[/ignore]

or

http://[green]ip.of.server.machine[/green]:8080/AppName/StartingPage.html

To be sure a machine will find the other(s) add its(/their) IP address(es) to the hosts file.
