Yes, I could ping "xyz.ab.edu" from my pc, but not "xyz.ab.edu:8181" (8181 is the port number on which tomcat is receiving requests). If I use "telnet localhost 8181" from xyz.ab.edu, it lets me in... but "telnet xyz.ab.edu 8181" doesnt work.
Thanks, Sruthi Can you ping "xyz.ab.edu" from your pc? I am thinking the name resolutoin( ip -> pc name) is not working properly.
