Tomcat Problem

[Quantum55]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question. But I am building a simple Servlet and everything works when I am running tomcat and connecting to it by using localhost. However, I cannot use my ip address to connect to it. I get a timeout error. What is the problem?

Are you connecting to the right port (typically you need to add :8080 after your ip)? It could be that the request is getting stopped by your private network. Typically you can get to your router at 192.168.0.1 . Most ISP's block certain ports. You might need to modify your server.xml in the conf directory and change the port for the connector.
