Ted, Last thing first. I did find you can set the IP with address=??? in the server.xml. Check for this. Unless you have a specific need to you can remove it.
Now in case that is not the issue: > > Sitting at you windows box that is running TC you can open IE and access > > http://localhost but if you try to access http://yourMachinesIP it fails. > > Right > You keep mentioning the linksys, so I have to ask, are you trying to use the actual IP of you machine (192.168.1.100) or the public IP assigned to the Internet side of the Linksys (assuming it is connected to the Internet)? > > From a command prompt ping localhost. Then ping the IP of your machine. > > Both return a response. I'm using the Linksys router BEFSR41 with port > forwarding enabled for port 80. > > > > > > Notice that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.? > > > > Do an ipconfig /all from the command promrt. Confirm the IP of your > machine. > > This shows 192.168.1.100 as the IP for my machine. > > > > > Are you running ANY firewall software? Disable it on a temporary basis to > > test. > > Not sure how to cleanly disable the Linksys firewall protection. > > > Then configure it to allow http port 80 traffic through. > > Port forwarding is enabled for port 80 (http). > There are primarily three cases that can happen with your setup: 1. Call http://localhost-- no response Call http://machineIP-- no response Call http://publicIP-- no response Tomcat is not running. Firewall on machine is blocking all IP traffic(rare but can happen). TCP/IP stack is corrupt. Since localhost works this is not the issue with yours. 2. Call http://localhost-- response Call http://machineIP-- no response Call http://publicIP-- no response Tomcat is misconfigured. Address setting for IP other than machine IP. Firewall is enabled/running on machine(not external unit). 3. Call http://localhost-- response Call http://machineIP-- response Call http://publicIP-- no response External firewall is misconfigured. Machine firewall is misconfigured. (Some firewalls treat requests to yourself as localhost and do not filter them. Try accessing http:/machineIP from another machine on the network if available.) Confirm which category you fall into. Then check the items listed. What version of windows are you running? If 2000 or higher go into network connection properties and select the Ethernet adapter that is connected to your linksys. Click on the advanced tab and confirm that the box beside firewall is NOT checked. If you are category three and the machine firewall is off then you have a problem with your Linksys.
