Accessing my home web page`

[my2004email123@yahoo.com]

Hello, I'm new to this, so please be kind... :) This is probably a
very simple question/answer. I'm trying to learn about setting up Web
Pages, so I have java and tomcat installed on my home PC. When I run
tomcat, and type in:

http://4.142.222.225:8080\jsp-examples\cal\login.html

via my local PC, I am able to see the login.html web page. I get the
4.142.222.225 by typing in ipconfig. Similarly if I type in:

http://localhost:8080\jsp-examples\cal\login.html

In other words, everything is fine if I try to access this Web Page
from my home PC. When I keep the Web Server running, and try to access
this same Web Page from my work PC, I get the following error:

"Security Warning. It appears that you are about to access a website
that has a non-standard web address format."

I click on the "Continue to Website" Command Button, and after a minute
or so, I get the standard Web error message:

The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is
currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical
difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You would probably get more help from a more appropriate group.

Many businesses are now blocking outbound traffic to most ports
except 80 to defeat trojan programs and chat/instant messaging
applications which pose internal security threats. You may also
have your router (if you use one) not setup correctly, or still
running some firewall/security program on your computer that
blocks outside access.

K,
I don't believe you can mix forward and back slashes like that in a
URL. It may work on the PC because Microsoft want things to be '\' but
must, in this case, respect the rest of the world and honor '/' in
URLs. You should generally be using '/' s. But I assume that's just a
typo in your message.

It sounds like to do not have a router. Therefore, I hope you have a
firewall on the PC itself. Otherwise, you are asking for some trouble.
Anyhow, you may, in fact, a software-based firewall on your PC and that
may be the culprit.

With any firewall, you'll need to allow outside traffic to the port
you're interested in, 8080.

1. Try pinging the ip address from work. It didn't work for me. It may be
blocked by your ISP.

2. If you can ping, then try changing the port to 80. It should let you
unless you have a web server running already at 80.
