sorry i don't understand anything but i think i don't have a router? last time i did

[rejetto]

the "self test" said you have a router so

1. you have a router
OR
2. you don't have a router yourself, but you are behind a router owned by the company/organization providing you internet connection. They don't give you a public numerical address, and in this case, most of times, you are unable to use any server program, like HFS.

oh, so i could not used this program? 
thanks for reply guys ^_^

[rejetto]

i cannot say.
it's up to you to discover in which of the two cases you are in.
i cannot imagine more cases, so i suppose you are in case1 or case2.
maybe someone else knows more and will contribute more cases.

[kaiyuan007]

so how do i check it?

[rejetto]

ask your internet provider if you get a public IP address
