If you are using a router to connect, ie you have a cable or dsl modem
running into a router, and from the router to your computer, you need to
tell the router to forward port 80 to your computer.

 

Here is a thread about how to do this. Unless you have port 80 opened on
your router, and have it forwarded to your computers internal IP address,
outside traffic can't reach your server.

Hope that helps!

Thank you guys, but:

1.      The slashes wasn't the problem (I wrote it wrong only here).
2.      The port 80 wasn't the problem, 'cause I tried without it.
3.      By the time you test my server, it wasn't running indeed. 
4.      The http://localhost works fine when my server is running.
5.      WinXP. And I don't know if I am behind a NAT router.

But, it's possible that my ISP provider not allow web public servers, that's
possible. Isn't it? 
It could block some applications in Java, when I'll give my IP and a port?

Thanks again.

It's odd that you didn't use the two forward slashes in your posting for
http://, because that should not be a legitimate URL in a web browser.

 

Any IP is valid, no matter if it is used statically or dynamically.

 

Unless you have access control filters on your web server (you can test by
trying http://localhost <http://localhost/>  on your server), you may be
running into firewall issues on your host running the web server and/or with
your network provider/ISP not allowing public web servers on their network.

 

Also, the time honored test is to telnet to port 80 on a remote computer to
test network connectivity and that the server is up and listening.

Hi everybody,

I have a simple question (I think):

I've got the apache 2.2 running on my computer, I know my IP at the moment
(by www.whatismyip.com) and I was trying to access my server, like this: 
http:\\201.18.148.4:80, from another computer on the internet. And it
doesn't work. Later, I tried the tomcat, like this:
http:\\201.18.148.4:8080, and nothing happens as well.

Am I doing anything wrong? How can I make my server visible to the world? Do
I need a real IP (buy one), or my dynamic IP can do it just fine? 

Thank you in advance.
