localhost:8080/lio/ works great in my apache tomcat, but when I use<my ip>106.5x.xx.xx:8080/lio/ I get this error:

The connection has timed out

The server at 106.5x.xx.xx is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

In the comments you said you used whatsmyip.com for your IP adress. That is your router public IP adress and not from your PC. To get the IP from your PC do following

on Windows:

ipconfig

on Linux(needs root privileges):

ifconfig

Of course you can only access your tomcat from your local network this way. If you want to be able to access your PC from the internet you have to set up port-forwarding on your router if it is supported.

  • give me details of portforwarding – user3564100 Apr 30 '14 at 13:24
  • @user3564100 I can't. You have to consult the specific manual for the router you have. Not every router supports it either. – user432 Apr 30 '14 at 13:25
  • like i said above. Read the manual of your router maybe it supports port-forwarding then you could use the public IP of your router. – user432 Apr 30 '14 at 13:37
  • my router supports port forwarding. can you give me example how to do? – user3564100 May 02 '14 at 08:04
  • I don't know how it works for your router since it is different for everyone. If it is not accurately descriped in the manual you can ask a question on http://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/ – user432 May 02 '14 at 08:06
