I get lucky once in a while.
Glad to help.

That was it! Thanks a billion.

Localhost is the same as the IP of the machine you are on (unless overridden
in the host files. So on that you would not be able to get an answer unless
you were running something on the client machine.
As for server name, you may wish to try the IP of the server and see what the result is.
But since you are running on XP sp2 my guess would be an issue with the
firewall. When you applied the sp I bet that Tomcat was on the machine. When
you did the new install XP blocked the app as it has a new name. Try as a
test to disable the firewall. If that works then enable it and setup an
exception for the new Tomcat OR for port 8080. My guess is you will have to
do the port.
XP sp2 does not like upper ports being open unlike 80 which it knows what it
is doing.
Welcome to sp2.

I just upgraded from Tomcat 5.0 to Tomcat 5.5 (Also, to Apache 2.0 and JDK/JRE to 1.5.0_01, although I'm not using Apache to access Tomcat.)
Server: WindowsXP Pro v2002 SP-2
Processor: Intel Pentium III - 664 MHz, 320 MB of RAM
JDK 1.5.0_01 and JRE 1.5.0_01. I have set the JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH EVs.
Apache Tomcat 5.5.4 and Apache 2.0.52.
Summary of the problem:
I can access the Apache page from the browser on the server via http://localhost:80 and http://myServerName:80. I can access the Apache page from the browser on the client via the same URLs. I can access the Tomcat page from the browser on the server via http://localhost:8080 and http://myServerName:8080. I cannot access the Tomcat page from the browser on the client via either of the Tomcat URLs.
All four of the above were working under Tomcat 5.0 and JDK 1.4 - no special config necessary.
I don't need Apache. I don't want my JSP traffic going through Apache.
Hence, the use of port 8080 in my Tomcat URLs. I only used the Apache port
80 to prove the connection between the client and the server was working.
startup.bat and shutdown.bat don't exist in the Tomcat 5.5 bin folder. What does exist is a new app called tomcat5w.exe and tomcat.exe. I've been using tomcat5w.exe to start/stop Tomcat, in place of startup.bat and shutdown.bat. Is this correct?
Any other thoughts? Still going through the Tomcat docs...haven't found anything, yet.
