Maybe your router doesn't recognize the IP address you are using. IP numbers usually are 0-255 and the end number in your IP address is 456?

Reload the the standard TC config, and just change the 8080, to 80, dont touch other stuff for now. Then google, I think you have one of those ADSL Nat Router things Heres an article with someone else struggling along http://sanzon.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/setting-up-web-server-behind-rout er-wrt54g2/ Whats probably screwing you up is even though you have it forwarding, the IP's internally are being dynamicly assigned, you have to give the server a fixed IP, typically this is not the ISP IP, its the machine IP, and then you need to check the machine and make sure its using your router as the gateway. Its not really a TC thing, best thing is to look at the router name and google for it and web server. These little box's now a days have some amazing functionality, so you need to find the manual for the thing. You need to check the Dynamip DNS is not on, DHCP is not assinged to the server, the DNS discovery is set or on auto, the network masks are right etc. If your SP supplied the router, they "should" know how to set the thing up, dont mention tomcat, its got nothing to do with it, just tell em its a web server on a machine.... if that works, TC will work. And then learn to do things like ping a machine etc. Have fun.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- HARBOR : http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/index.htm The most powerful application server on earth.
