Remotly accessing Tomcat via WWW 1

[Twine12b]

Can anyone help. I have Tomcat 4.1 running under Windows XP on a Belkin network. I am using windows xp software to network two machines Machine 1 has a DSL connection to the internet which machine two shares.

My problem is.
I want to configure Tomacat so that external users can access my machine from a web browser. I have been reading the tomcat server.xml file and noted that I need to have a "httpd.conf" file. does anyone have a skeleton conf file that I can use?

I may be barking up the wrong tree so if anyone knows of a solution to my dilema I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Remote as far as from the internet?
If you don't have a firewall they can already access it, if you do have a firewall you will have have to forward (or allow) connections to your computer. Then if your IP address changes, you should get a dynamic DNS entry (no-ip.com is a good one) iSeriesCodePoet

Thanks for the advice.
yes I was refering to remotly via the internet. Would the address that accesses Tomcat be the same as the default gateway address that is provided from my ISP?

The IP address assigned to you by your ISP. You might want to change the port to 80 instead of 8080. Do a search for 8080 in your server.xml file and change it to 80. iSeriesCodePoet
