Port 8080 Not Responding

I need help getting port 8080 to respond. I'm running Tomcat on RH 9
which I need to get to from my LAN. I can browse to localhost:8080 fine
but I can't from any other PC. The other PCs can get to port 80
(Apache) fine but just get a "Page cannot be displayed" message on 8080.
When I installed, I had the chance to add 8080 as an open port as part
of the custom option on the "secure" settings on the firewall setup but
didn't need it then.

Thanks for your help!

You can edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables and a rule for INPUT port 8080 like

[0:0] -A INPUT -s 0/0 -d $YOUR_IP -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

Restart iptables afterwards.
