I suspect that the IP address you have your tomcat server bound to is 127.0.0.1, which is the loopback interface only available to the local machine. Hence it is not available to remote machines.

do: netstat -an | grep 8080

What is the output you get?

Also, What is the IP address of that machine and if you are connecting to it remotely, is firewall a factor? Are both boxes are on local n/w to one another? Also, can you do the following from the remote machine while tomcat is running:

telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 8080

What do you get? Thanks
