Tested all those options before I sent the mail.

Windows firewall: off.  Symantec EP11 firewall: disabled
Still no response off the wire.
Running 32-bit version worked OK and well as 64-bit with 32-bit APR.
Only 64-bit with 64-bit was a problem.

Could not connect with telnet nor browser. With SEP11 firewall turned on, logs 
showed requests to 8080 coming in and being approved, but still no response.  
This was really odd.

I agree, the IP shouldn't care about real vs. loopback.  But apparently it did 
in this case.  I would say it has something to do with actually going to the 
hardware (loopback would be higher in the software layer).

Another variable to throw into the mix, just for fun -- do you have a
proxy? Squid doing a little web-caching perhaps? That can mess you up
as well.

Try
   telnet ip.address.here 8080
   GET / HTTP/1.0


(follow the GET with a blank line) and see if you get any HTML back.
You can try it from the same computer and/or other computers nearby.

If you do get an appropriate HTTP response, Tomcat is well and you've
got other issues. If you can't open the port at all, Tomcat isn't
listening. If you can open the port but Tomcat doesn't play nice with
an HTTP response, your configuration needs attention.
