Accessing Tomcat from outside

Hi,
I have installed the Tomcat 4.1 on my windows/xp and it works local ok. But when I try to access the Tomcat from outside by replacing the local host in my IP address, I get error message: the page cannot be displayed.

I read all questions on the forum and disabled the firewall and Port forwarding I’ve done internal port 80, and external port 1964. But I do not have a router. Is a router always necessary in order to access the Tomcat from outside?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Try going to www.grc.com and selecting the Shields UP test. Make sure that all the necessary ports are actually open.
