If Tomcat's welcome page is accessible then Tomcat is up and running. It's likely that you application failed to deploy. Have you looked at the server logs and your application logs to see if there were any problems? > After that, I tried using my router's IP (with > Firefox), and I received an error message saying that "the connection was > reset". > > What I want to know is what I need to do to access Tomcat (running as > service) from web, taking into account that it works perfectly when running > in the console window. There are differences between running Tomcat in the console and running it as a service. I'm not a windows expert, but I believe that each scenario would run as a different user (console running as your user, the service running as a service account). Perhaps someone more knowledgable about Windows can provide more details.
