Troubleshooting From PCX try pinging PC 1: ping PC1 If that succeeds try doing telnet to Tomcat port (default 8080): telnet PC1 8080 That's probably where it will fail, refusing to connect to 8080.

Alternative 1 You have a Firewall blocking the the other PC to access Tomcat port (default 8080).

Alternative 2 Tomcat is binded to localhost only, and you can't access it from another host.

Look for the tomcat/conf/server.xml file and look for some text like:

<Connector 
    port="8080" 
    protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
    address="127.0.0.1"
    ...

If you find the address attribute, remove it and it should bind to every ip address.
