I know that's weird, but It's the exactly what happens to me. Firewall status: - on -> only the "console way" is accessible from Internet (outside my local network) - on, with 8080 port added to "Exceptions List" (Exceptions tab in Firewall Settings) -> both ways are accessible from Internet - off -> both ways are accessible from Internet > Or what exception exactly did you add ? > > > I went to Windows Firewall Settings window, then, in the "Exceptions" tab, I added the 8080 port (I also named as TomcatTCP) with the "TCP" option selected, then I added the 8080 port again (named as TomcatUDP) with the "UDP" option selected. After all this, two itens were added to the Exceptions List: TomcatTCP and TomcatUDP. Then I could access Tomcat (so my app too) from global Internet (using the router's IP). > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > users-unsubscribe@tomcat.**apache.org<users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > >
