Hi everybody. I have this kind of problem.
I found my External IP 72.123.123.123 Port 80. But when I go to http://72.123.123.123/
I'm going to my router where it asks me the password. After entering, I'll be in router settings.
So I can't go to my Http File Server. In Application and Gaming everything OK
Http File Server | 80~80 | [v]TCP | [v]UPD | 192.168.1.100 | [v]
I don't know what to do. Can somebody help me please?

Seems to me nothing is going wrong here..

If you browse to http://72.123.123.123/ YOU will have acccess to the router, because you are accessing that address locally.
If someone else connects to that address, they simply connect to your HFS and NOT your router.

But if you want to browse your own fileserver, you could simply use either your local addres (127.0.0.1) or your network address (192.168.2.101, for example).

Hope it helps

Really? You think so.  ???
That's weard. When I used one of the first versions of HFS, I wasn't abble to acess to my router throw my external IP. It was completely close! I was afraid that I lost all acess to my router, but then I figure out that I have access throw my default gateway 192.168.1.1
Right now I have acess throw my local and external.  :o Ok, I'll try it, maybe it will work from other computer. Later I will tell about results, and if it woun't work, then we'll try to figure out something else.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for the others.  :'(
Do somebody have any HFS from 1 version? I want to try.
Last version didn't work for me  :-[
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Giant Eagle on March 06, 2007, 02:59:49 PM
Sounds like hfs isnt running or you have changed your port.. make sure hfs runs on port 80 and is actually running
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on March 06, 2007, 03:02:07 PM
Yes, ofcourse HFS is running and the port is 80!  ;D
Any other suggestions? Somebody have any older versions of HFS?
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: moondog on March 07, 2007, 02:49:25 PM

Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on March 07, 2007, 09:53:03 PM

Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on March 09, 2007, 10:12:01 PM
All right, I gues It's not problem with pragram

Any way Thanks for help.

Post by: Pehden1 on March 30, 2007, 05:10:26 AM
Oh my GOD, Go to your router and see if it set to alow remote access, If so then change the port that the router give remote access from. Then you will be able to leave HFS to port 80
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on March 30, 2007, 06:00:50 PM
What exactly should I look for? I have the Linksys rauter and I couldn't find anything about remote access.

If you are having problems configuring your router for portforwarding, go here -> http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Select your router from the list then select Http File Server-HFS and follow the instructions.
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on March 31, 2007, 07:34:14 PM
I know how to do this. I've done it before and it was working.
But now I have different model of the same router and it doesn't work.
So, what about remote access?
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: maverick on March 31, 2007, 08:31:05 PM
When you do the HFS Self-Test, what does it tell you?

As for remote access that another poster mentioned, I think he is referring to a wireless feature supported by some routers (gateway), which I don't think has anything to do with your problem.
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on April 01, 2007, 04:57:46 AM
All right, finally I made it work!  :o
The problem was that the link http://12.123.123.123/ DIDN'T work.
But the link http://12.123.123.123:81/ WORKING!!!
So the problem is that you should always write the port in your adress.
In previous versions I didn't do that, and so I didn't know that.
Any way, thanks everybody!

The Only Time that you don't have to include the port in your address is when you use port 80.  If you use any other port, you have to include it in your address.  That has been mentioned many times in the forum and is probably mentioned in the help & wiki also.
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: Guest on April 01, 2007, 06:24:00 AM
Allright, I get it now. I didn't mentioned my port in previous version because I used port 80
Here, my port 80 didn't work, but when I changed it to port 81, I didn't use it in my link  ;D
Wow, so complicated and also so simpe. After all, I am happy to use HTTP File Server again.

people use that option without understanding what it is
i will put a warning on it

My ISP blocks port 80... I had to use port 90. It worked for me..
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: bacter on August 29, 2007, 04:17:55 PM
Are you sure that your firewall is open for port 80? check-it. Also it's a good idea to change the port number of the routers configuration page, for example to 126. So you can use por 80 from intranet as also from outside. Only to remember that afer chanchinge the routers configuration port, you have to access it as: http://192.1681.1:126/

Try the Self-Test feature of HFS.

If it succeeds, then everything is probably good.  Try connecting to your server from outside the LAN, i.e. with a friend's help or at school/work.

If self-test fails, then check your firewall exceptions and router port forwarding.

In addition, the start as a windows service for HFS does not seem to work. I checked the box. I have power outages from time to time and it would be nice not to get my server 03 box back up. Might any way. Should the normal install work with 03? If not I am a willing tester.

no

what box? hfs doesn't have such feature itself. i guess you are using another software to get it.

*shrug* was just a option on install. running the beta atm. like the search. not shure if the d/l speed will go up or not. i will get back 2 u on that.
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: rejetto on February 16, 2009, 10:29:36 AM
that option on install was not about being a service, but to be on the shelll context menu (the one you get right clicking on a file)

no.
if you think it's the 224, try reverting to the last build that worked correctly for you, and see if the problem vanishes.

hallo!
i have a little problem
i use a winxp pc as a "router"... it has a modem and lan cards, so many pc can use the only internet connection that i have using lan.
the problem is that if i give the external address to someone, he can't connect to hfs, so if i want to use hfs i have to use it from the pc directly connected to internet
what can i do?
Title: Re: All the help you need
Post by: rejetto on August 04, 2010, 10:41:09 AM
did you install a "router" program ?
if not, you are using routing feature of Windows.
As stated elsewhere, you must configure port forwarding of your router, being it Windows or a physical box.

Welcome HonGCheN ! :)

It's impossible for now.
But it's much easier, just a browser is sufficient for log in to the server... HFS is an HTTP server.
FTP protocol is in to-do list.
