Number of PCs is not a factor. If you have 1 PC and you want to connect beyond your network you need a default gateway. If you have 1 PC and tomcat is installed you should first try accessing tomcat through http://localhost:8080/ If you have another PC on the same network It should be able to access tomcat on the first PC via <its IP address>:8080. Can you tell us the topography of your network? IP addresses, etc? That will make it far easier to diagnose.
