How do you Access a Servlet on PC(a) by Web Browser on PC(b) ??

[qmacg]

I have a Home Network with 2 PCs on it... Win 98 and 2000.
If someone could just tell me if this is even possible...

I wanted to access another computer's active Tomcat and MySql by typing into my Browser from a different computer...:
Computer A:
Computer B:

http://localhost:8080/MyWebApp/Servlet/abcServlet

I understand Local Host is physically the current machine I type the address above into the Web Browser (Computer B), but is there a way to make it look at the (Counputer A)??
This command below doesn't work when I type it on ComputerB:

http://ComputerA/MyWebApp/Servlet/abcServlet.

Hi

Try

[ignore]

http://ComputerA:8080/MyWebApp/Servlet/abcServlet

[/ignore]

or

http://[green]ip.of.server.machine[/green]:8080/MyWebApp/Servlet/abcServlet

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

And if you're using a proxy, remeber to tell the browser to not use the proxy.
