hi Thanks for ur reply. I actually already new what u just mentioned. The problem is I tried 100s of times to run it my tomcat is running at 8080 on my pc. I enter the ip address like: http://routerip:8080/index.html Is that the correct way, or do I need to change the ports, some ppl say it should be port 80, but I don't know how to chnage to port 80 on tomcat. My router has assigned an ip to my PC which is like 192.168.1.2, so when do I need this local ip. I am getting confused. I hope u have time to answer my problem, i'd really appreciate.

Assuming you know the IP address of your router ( type in google: "what's my IP address"), user should be able to connect to your app by typing something like "http://YourRouter's IP:Tomcat Port/your context path"..That should be it.
