Sorry, but I don't understand.
Why should I have to use an external proxy server to connect to HFS?
I am working on my windows system where HFS is installed and is running.
From exactly this windows system I open a browser and access HFS.
http ://localhost works
http ://<shorthostname> works
http ://<ip address> works
http: //<longhostname> doesn't work (why??)
When I do:
ping <shorthostname> it resolves to <ipaddress>.
ping <longhostname> it resolves to <ipaddress>.
Both pings give exactly the same IP address. The IP address of my windows system where HFS is running.
Why then is http: //<longhostname> not working? The HFS log window shows that a connection is established. But HFS does then do nothing. It doesn't reply to the connection. And I don't know why.
Why should I use an external proxy on my on system to access HFS with <longhostname>?
There is no external router involved.
Sorry, but this doesn't make any sense to me.
