Thanks,
I don't know if this was the answer in your links, I'll read them. I kept working and sort of figured it out on my own. I tested both the nonSSL and the SSL builds of hfs. I first found that I had set up my router not to accept external Internet pinging to my WAN IP. Then I set up two port forwarding rules: one for the nonSSL on port 8080 and a separate one for the SSL build using port 443.
I found that I could not have them both enabled at the same time. It appeared that I could be using either the SSL or the nonSSL version, but not both at the same time. Still, the SSL version would not connect on my WAN IP until I also created a virtual server directing all external traffic on port 8080 to my private port 443. Once I did that the SSL version worked beautifully and I was able to check with remote users across the Internet and not just my LAN computers. Sometimes when you keep trying you just get stuff to work; but thanks.
