Problem in running servlets

Question

Hi frnds,
I am very much new to java servlets technology, I have installed tomcat 5.0.28,and from the browser i gave the following url,http://localhost:8000,where 8000 is the port tomcat is running,i could see the tomcat home page,but when i gave http://172.16.8.13:8080,i am getting the following error ,(172.16.8.13 is my system ip address)
The requested item could not be loaded by the proxy.
The connection timed out. The server could be down, unreachable, or is not responding. If you are unable to connect again later, contact the server's administrator.
We have a local proxy here,when i gave ip address the request is going to proxy and coming back and giving the above error,i am unable to figure out the error,does tomcat has to be additionally configured for this type of setting.
Can any body help me?Its very urgent for me

From the problem I understand that when you are providing the ip address to the browser, it is going into the Internet cloud and is unable to find such an address.
If you are using IE , go to Tools->Internet Options->LAN settings(button)
-> Proxy Server (block)->Advanced (button) .
Please enter the Ip address of your machine in this block text area and try.
In Mozilla goto Tools->Options->Connection Settings and enter your ip address in the No proxy for textbox.
