You can't just assign host names. You can address tomcat as http://localhost:8080/ or, if your host has another valid name, say frog.pond, then you can address tomcat as http://frog.pond:8080/ This is not a tomcat issue, it is an operating system issue, or really a network issue. You can set your host name to whatever you like, but if you are on a network then it is best to ask your sysadmin about it - they can change your machine's entry in your DNS.
