Allow logins

I'm a server newbie. I have lots of non-server experience. I just installed
Windows Server 2003 R2 for use with Primavara 5.0. It has a java web
application called myPrimavera that uses Tomcat and port 8080. I can log into
it from localhost, but not from outside the server. The username I'm using
from outside the server is an administrator (for now). I can't quite figure
it out. It says it can't see the web page I'm searching for. It doesn't ask
for authentication, just fails before connecting.

I can connect to WebAdmin from my laptop, though it has authentication
issues as well. That tells me I'm pointing to the right basic URL from the
laptop. I used the same URL from the laptop as was successful from localhost,
just substituted the machine's name for "localhost".

What I need is a primer on this stuff. Can anyone point me to such a
document or a good book? I learn fast, but I need to learn faster.

sounds like you have the firewall turned on on the server. Can you log into
it from the server console using the IP address of the server instead of
localhost?

Jeremy, thanks for your response.

I think I've gotten closer. I found something called a security wizard after
hours of searching. I installed and ran it, and it fixed many of the issues I
was having. This is hard. Hidden answers like this are difficult for me to
ferret out, but I'm not giving up. Your answer was very helpful.

Thanx
