When you type in http://dummy.dnsalias.net/web/JSP/login.html in the IE do you get a tomcat error or do you get a "The page cannot be displayed" or do you get some other error?

I appreciate it. May be, in future i may go for a static IP address. But for testing purposes, i would like to do some wrok around specified by you. I went to www.dyndns.org and selected 'Dynamic DNS' and did whatever it asked me to. I'm able to access it locally. ie. http://dummy.dnsalias.net/web/JSP/login.html But not from other computers (one at office). I'm able to ping to this machine. But not able to see the web application. Is this is a firewall issue? How can i identify what are the firewalls/spywares running in my system and how to allow the IP Address to be visible. Pls help. Thanks to everyone for the answers. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > OK. There have been suggestions that you get a > static ip address.
