Your public address will be your wan ip address(ie....not 192.168.0.101). Look in your dlink router config webpage under WAN and that will be your public ip address.
Change your port forwarding(virtual server) to forward port 80 (on the outside) to port 8080 on the inside. If you kept tomcat config as is running on 8080, then your webservice url will be http://WAN_IP/mywebservice Flowchart: User navigates to: http://WAN_IP/mywebservice dlink forwards this to http://192.168.0.101:8080/mywebservice BTW, WAN_IP is a variable for what your actual public ip address is. 192.168.0.101 would be the ip address dlink router assigned your machine (assuming it was the only machine on your network). ipconfig will tell you your 192 address if different. Not sure about number 4.
