To connect to Remote Desktop connection via local system

Question

I am able to login to the dedicated server from a local system by Remote Desktop connection. I used IP address and admin password to login dedicated server. I ran WebSphere server in dedicated server and deployed my application then I can access my application from dedicated server's browser like

localhost:8080/myapp 

or

xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/myapp 

It was working fine there, but when I tried to access the same app from my local system as

xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/myapp

It doesn't work. How can I make it work?
