tomcat stopped working

Hi,

My tomcat has stopped working. A http 404 i.e type error page is displayed when I type localhost. I havent made any changes except move my laptop from a lan connection to a dial-up. This happenned before and I found it was my environmental variable, so it cant be that this time. Im really stuck. This is what im getting when I shut tomcat down, my startup just flashes on screen for a second, server.xml is also included. Im using tomcat 4.1.29 on Windows xp.
Cheers.

    <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received

         associated "Container" (normally an Engine) for processing.

         By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
         following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector
         entry.  SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config
         HOWTO in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation bundle for more detailed
         instructions):
         * Download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later, and put the JAR files
           into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
         * Execute:
             %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
             $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA  (Unix)

           the keystore itself.

         By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
         "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When DNS lookups are disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
         IP address of the remote client.

               Sessions.

               saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
                 to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
                 other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will be
                 loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
                 ignored in both cases.
               maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
                 sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
                 limits this. -1 or 0 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
                 If it is not possible to swap sessions new sessions will
                 be rejected.
                 This avoids thrashing when the site is highly active.
               minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
                 (in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
                 activity.
                 0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
                 use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
               maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
                 long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
                 override this. This isn't exact: it is checked periodically.
                 -1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
                 although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
                 If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
                 Store will be loaded on startup.
               maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
                 but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in seconds),
                 and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on startup.
                 If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
                 should be backed up shortly after being used.

               To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions, maxIdleSwap,
               and minIdleBackup all to -1, saveOnRestart to false, then restart
               Catalina.
