newbie install question - cannot access Tomcat remotely, only on localhost

Hello,

I've setup JDK 1.4, Apache 1.3.26 and Tomcat 4.1.12 on a Windows 2000 server. I am able to successfully access:

http://localhost/  (for general web files)

and

http://localhost:8080/ (for Tomcat jsp files - I get the default index.jsp page that comes with Tomcat)

and

http://myipaddress/ (for general web files, accessed remotely)

*but* I am not able to access:

http://myipaddress:8080/  (for Tomcat jsp files, accessed remotely - I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error)

There so no software or hardward firewall in place (i.e., port 8080 is accessible by external users).

Could anyone suggest a reason why Tomcat is not accessible from external clients?

Thanks,
Darren
