That's not the administrator, that's the default Tomcat home page (webapp). Older versions of Tomcat did include an administrator app, 6.0.x does not.

It just never occurred to me. On XP, you can configure host names in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in lieu of a DNS box. > > 3) Try using the IP address of the target machine. > > This just ended up with a timeout. Likely a firewall blocking on one or both of the machines blocking the connection. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
