Here are two solutions based on installing the "real Tomcat" from 
tomcat.apache.org.

1. Keep your current installation

a. Keep your current NetBeans installation
b. Download Tomcat 6.0.33 from tomcat.apache.org
c. Install it
d. Configure NetBeans with this additional server.
   1. Add a new server in the Services panel under the Servers node
   2. Call it Tomcat 6.0.33
   3. Use this in all your projects

2. Uninstall your current installation

a. Completely remove NetBeans
b. Install the Java SE NetBeans version
   1. This will not have Tomcat - install one from tomcat.apache.org
   2. Add the web development tools under Tools->Plugins
   3. Add the Tomcat server under Tools->Servers

I personally use the second method. Under NetBeans 7.0.1 I have Tomcat 7.0.20, 
6.0.33, and 5.5.33 (plus a bunch of other servers). All of the servers were 
installed from their respective original sources, not bundled with the IDE.

Also note if you want to work with Tomcat 7.0.x, you will need NetBeans 7.0.1. 
NetBeans 6.x does not support Tomcat 7.0.x directly (although there are games 
you can play - ask on the NetBeans J2EE mailing list or forum).

. . . . just my two cents.
