Dear Forum,
Iam new to Java web development. Iam in the process of developing a website. I have installed tomcat server on a PC which as Win XP as OS. The Tomcat server has been configured and can be accessed on this PC. I have written a servlet which runs fine locally on this PC. Now when I try to access this page from another PC connected to the previous PC by LAN, I encounter an error.
Locally, the URL used is
http://localhost:8081/servlet_name the servlet is placed in the tomcat installation's webapp/root/web-inf/classes directory.
remotely, the URL used is
http://Ip_address_of_machine_tomcat_server:8081/servlet_name The error displayed is "Network Access Message. There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed."
Please advise me on how to go about with a solution to this.
Thank you
