OK it was something easy as I thought but overlooked. Had to type in http:// when using IE in order to get it to load. :-)

Looking at IE settings now but changing security settings hasn't had any affects so far.

So obviously not a Tomcat problem :-) Have you done any basic network connectivity checks? Run ping, telnet, telnet-to-server-port-8080 from a Windows box? Looked at the access log on the server to see if any requests are showing up? Run Ethereal or snoop or comparable to watch the network traffic? Your Windows boxes probably have some sort of firewall in place that intercepts requests to "non-standard" ports, like 8080; perhaps the firewall software generates a log of rejected requests? Or maybe you could just change the Connector to port 80 and see if that changes the symptom...
