HFS ~ HTTP File Server / I can't get port 8080 to work out side my internet , is it a possible bug ?

« on: June 25, 2011, 07:50:02 PM »

installed the program, I already have another server (iis) using port 80 which host my website, so I need to use a different port than port 80. port 8080 seems to work fine locally however when I click on self test or try to access the site out side my internet,connection fails. I removed my router, disabled all firewall and still no luck. tried different ports and no luck,  I spent hours reading numerous thread and still no luck, uninstalled and reinstalled the program, tried to restore it and that didn't help either.  port forwarding didn't help either.  I have tried everything for no avail. finally I changed the port on iis server to 8080, and changed hfs to port 80 and this seems to fix the problem. hfs doesn't seem to work on any other port other than port 80 (except internally within your internet connection) so I conclude it is not a port forwarding or a firewall issue but it is a bug, I can't think of any other explanation, I did not sleep, I stayed up all night and was not able to fix this issue, I would appreciate if someone could help me out.   I can not run my website on port 8080 because visitors would need to type the port number after the url to access my website, and I don't want to do that.  is there a way to make hfs work on port 8080 outside my internet connection?
