RE: Can't access Tomcat from outside the LAN
Number of PCs is not a factor. If you have 1 PC and you want to connect beyond your network you need a default gateway. If you have 1 PC and tomcat is installed you should first try accessing tomcat through http://localhost:8080/ If you have another PC on the same network It should be able to access tomcat on the first PC via :8080. Can you tell us the topography of your network? IP addresses, etc? That will make it far easier to diagnose.

Tom, Do you have a default gateway? If you can access anything outside your LAN then you must have one. It seems your tomcat box does not know about it. Jonathan Soons - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Can't access Tomcat from outside the LAN
You may have to fool with your firewall (or talk to you lan administrator). I have a line for starting iptables that looks like this: -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT I suspect Ubuntu has some classy utility for modifying the firewal to allow 8080 or what ever port Tomcat is using to get in. mas Tom Eklöf wrote: > I managed to set up Tomcat 6.0.20 on my Ubuntu Jaunty box, but I can't > seem to access the server from outside my LAN.

Can't access Tomcat from outside the LAN
I managed to set up Tomcat 6.0.20 on my Ubuntu Jaunty box, but I can't seem to access the server from outside my LAN. Port forwarding is working OK (tested with port scanner and by starting SSH on the port), and I can also access Tomcat from all computers on my LAN. I've tried poking around the documentation, but nothing seems to suggest that Tomcat would default to not accepting outside connections. I hope I'm not making a fool out of myself here, but I really could use some pointers (_not_ of the int* variety :P ) here. -- Tom Eklöf Recidite, plebes!
