No configuration necessary - unless you changed something in server.xml, To=
mcat binds to 0.0.0.0, so it listens on all IP addresses configured for the=
 box it's running on.  There very likely *is* a firewall blocking port 8080=
 somewhere between your browser and the Tomcat system - it might even be on=
 your XP box at home.

Can you reach the target system with a ping?
