localhost:8080 does not display

[Nagrik]

Hello Group,

I installed my tomcat apacke web server on windows xp professional.
When I type

localhost:8080 in my Firefox browser on the same machine I am able to
see the default
tomcat page, which certiies that my tomcat is working fine and port
8080 is working for web server.

However, if I type the same on same machine

localhost:8080

it first gave me server can not be contacted and when I removed
my setting for

localhost\\8080, it now gives

404 error, <description: The requested resource is not available>

Can someone tell me settings which I need to make or IE is not the
trusted browser for tomcat server? I am perplexed.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that this is being recognized as a URL.
If necessary give it a protocol prefix.

Is there a proxy? You would have to make sure
Bypass proxy server for local addresses
was checked.

Correct you typo and explain what you mean by "removed my setting".
