You're using the wrong IP guaranteed.

Local host usually translates to 127.0.0.1. Try that.

Tell Tomcat to listen on all interfaces, not just localhost. Typically
that means that you should only specify the port number and no
hostname or host address.

Additionally, make sure that your host is correctly configured so that
localhost maps to the local address (127.0.0.1) and any other names
your host is known by map to the corresponding external addresses.
