Are you really sure that there is no firewall running? And what does you mean when mentioning that HTTPD traffic passes through? Have you also checked port 8080 which is Tomcat's default port? > I have no idea why browser on the local host loaded the Tomcat front > page just fine but not from any other machine on the network. > > Is there a new Tomcat option that disabled remote connection? No, why should this be. It's a server. :-) But I have a few ideas: 1. Once again port 8080: When you try to access the server from another machine, which browser configuration do you have there? Do you use a proxy, and could it be that port 8080 is then disallowed? What does happen when you disable the proxy for the connections to the machine hosting the Tomcat server? 2. What does happen if you try to get a connection to the Tomcat server from another machine by using the ip address, i.e. http://192.168.0.80:8080/? If this should work, you should simply have a dns problem. The dns server, you are using, must have to know which ip belongs to "thatbox" so that it can resolve "thatbox" properly. 3. How did you configure the host and context? A mis-configuration can cause that the request in fact reaches the machine but Tomcat does not respond because it doesn't feel responsible due to the configuration settings.
