I hope this is somewhere in the ballpark of acceptable behavior. I downloaded tomcat and I am successfully running the tomcat web server. I wrote java servlets and java server pages and created a web site that I wish to host from my computer. The application is fully tested with my computer running as both the client and server. I want to expose my computer to the internet. What is the next step to get web browser from another client to reach my web server? Do I need some kind of ip address? How does one get an ip address? thanks, dave peregrim _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
