Is Tomcat only connected to localhost ?

[hoppeSP]

Hi,

we are using and Tomcat respectivly Pluto in our lab project at university. All is fine, but it would be nice, if we gain access to Tomcat not only from the computer it runs on. Can someone tell me, if there are some settings that enables Tomcat to be reachable from the Internet?

Thanks,

Its not whether or not Tomcat is reachable from the net, but whether your computer is reachable.

If Tomcat is responding and displaying your pages with a "localhost" url, then it works OK. if you can't reach it from another station, it's a network problem.
[ul][li]either your server name is not known : try to use IP adress instead of name[/li]
[li]or your server is not reachable : do you ping it with name and/or with IP adress ?[/li]
[li]Last try : firewall/port problem. Is your server and/or domain protected by a firewall and if so, does this firewall allow connection on Tomcat listening port (80 or 8080 in general) ?[/li]
