    Hi,
    I have three computers connected via lan and I would like to access web applications over the LAN. More specifically, I have a web application running on Tomcat, and I normally access the application by typing http://localhost:8080/ into my browser.

    Now I would like to be able to access the same app from my other computer over the LAN.

    Front end : JAVA
    Back-end : MS SQL


    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Use the server's name on it..

    Like if your localhost pc has name like ( "xakpc" ) ... Then over other LAN pc.. use http://xakpc/ ...

    You may also use the local LAN Ip address, E.g. if it is 192.168.0.2 then you can use http://192.168.0.2:8080/ on other computers on the LAN.

    better you give name to the machine and access it so that you dont have to remember IP address
