Error accessing tomcat web server from my mac

Question

Hi,

support guys in the office can't help and everything has been fine for the last couple months until today. Running OSX 10.6.3 and 1 of only 2 users on mac. Can access a staging server when remoting in to a pc near my desk but not able to access via any of the browsers on my mac (Chrome, Firefox or Safari). An example staging server would be http://mesoderm:8080/...

Error is simply: Oops! Google Chrome could not find mesoderm:8080.

I can connect to the internet and remote in to a nearby pc as mentioned above.

Strange why it would all of a sudden do this and it's incredibly annoying! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Ryan

Investigate your firewall rules. This is most often the cause of this kind of problems.
