Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

If I am in the wrong forum, please point me to where I should be.

I have a problem with Tomcat 4.1.18 recognizing localhost.

I start up tomcat.

If I enter http://localhost:8080 I get a connection refused.

If I enter http://127.0.0.1:8080 I get the tomcat default home page

If I enter http://localhost:8080/index.jsp I get the tomcat default home page!

In fact if I use localhost:8080/valid file name - then I will get that file name.

My environment is W2k Professional behind a Netgear rp614 router. I have a static ip address with the router as my gateway and my ISP's ip addresses as dns servers.

Thanks for any help
