I am running tomcat in my docker container.
My question is why can I go here in cygwin 192.168.59.103:8888 (using curl or lynx) and not in my firefox browser?
I am on a windows7 machine with cygwin and boot2docker
my ip on my windows machine (doing an ipconfig /all in cygwin)
10.201.202.25(Preferred)
my boot 2 docker ip (rung in cygwin)
$ boot2docker ip
192.168.59.103
running this command in docker to get the container running
docker@boot2docker:~$ docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8080 tomcat:8.0
this is the server up and running
docker@boot2docker:~$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
c1b19bf099f0 tomcat:8 "catalina.sh run" 3 hours ago Up 3 hours 0.0.0.0:8888->8080/tcp high_feynman
the IP address of the container I am running is 172.17.0.2
docker@boot2docker:~$ docker inspect high_feynman | grep IP

works
docker@boot2docker:~$ curl localhost:8080 | head
does not work
docker@boot2docker:~$ curl localhost:8888 | head
works
docker@boot2docker:~$ curl 172.17.0.2:8080 | head
does not work
docker@boot2docker:~$ curl 172.17.0.2:8888 | head
From cygwin: does not work
$ curl 192.168.59.103:8080 | head
From cygwin: works
$ curl 192.168.59.103:8888 | head
NOTE This question has been asked here but I have set up prtforwarding on my vm as requested but it still does not work. Is there anything else that I can do?
