Sounds more like a browser setup problem, not a Tomcat problem:

- is your browser set to look for a proxy on the same port as Tomcat
  (IIRC, default is 8000 or 8080, same as some proxy servers)

- any personal firewall s/w running, such as ZoneAlarm or BlackIce?

- If you stop Tomcat, does the problem go away?

Tomcat simply binds to a port when it starts; it doesn't intercept
outbound web requests.

Something like that.

I get the default Tomcat home page, which is at:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp

My impression is that my problem is not whether Tomcat is working.  I
believe it is, even though I tried to shut it up.  My problem is that there
is something in its configuration that is not allowing me access any other
web sites, Google.  When I try to access other sites, all I get is the
default Tomcat home page.  What I want is to be able to access any web
address, in addition to Tomcat's.

I am using Windows XP.

Thanks,
Victor

By  saying you installed it, I'm left with the impression you 
downloaded and double clicked the windows installer.

Tomcat's built in http server catalina serves over port 80
Point your browser here and you never know it could already be running
http://localhost:8080/
If not tell me what os you're running and what you've done so far.

Hi Everybody!
I am new to Tomcat and to the list.
I just downloaded and installed Tomcat/4.1.30.
The only reason I did it is to learn about Tomcat and J2EE.  At this 
point
in time I am not yet interested in an actual fully functional web 
server.

Well, when I tried to access familiar web pages (like Google), I got 
the
Apache default Tomcat home page instead.

Near the top it says: " If you're seeing this page, and you don't 
think you
should be, then either you're either a user who has arrived at new
installation of Tomcat, or you're an administrator who hasn't got 
his/her
setup quite right. Providing the latter is the case, please refer to 
the
Tomcat Documentation for more detailed setup and administration 
information
than is found in the INSTALL file."

I went to the Tomcat Documentation for more detailed setup and
administration information.  But it wasn't clear to me which 
information is
relevant, or what to do to be able to again access the web addresses of
interest to me.

So, If somebody could give me specific actionable instructions to 
access
those pages, I'll appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
