My problem was solved. Thank u everyone who tried to help me. Seems like port 80 was being blocked by my ISP, I was running tomcat on my sony vaio laptop, seems like it has some software which is blocking the ports for anonymous requests. I tried in my PC and its working fine now. cheerss!! For people who do not have a static IP address from their ISPs can visit TZO.com OR DynDNS.org since, they provide services changing IP address and updates your domain info dynamically.

You need to read your cable router manual for how to forward traffic to a specific port (80) to a specific machine on the inside of your firewall or setup your server system to be in the DMZ. You'll also have to learn how to register a DNS domain name if you haven't already and point name servers to the public IP port your cable router is on.
There is one point that could be considered tomcat specific. You may need to set proxyName and proxyPort on the connector in your server.xml receiving traffic from your cable router. It's mostly so the outside people get correct redirect responses and the links are written correctly. --David CANADAFAST INC. wrote: >I don't care if anyone finds this question interesting or not.
