Yea something definitely seems to be blocking the ports I unchecked Skype restarted both HFS and skype now I don't get the image error just a eternal loading screen but the server does work on 192.168.1.2 or 127.0.0.1 so yea seems something out of the blue before and after I reformatted it is blocking HFS even tried switching to port 8080 and making another router rule for it and still not working. Hm seems windows firewall is blocking something. I disabled it and HFS is working. but there no rule in there blocking HFS. so what other things/settings in the firewall would do that? running windows diagnostic on the firewall while working on this issue it applied a fix that seemed to have helped but..so Problem solved..im just not happy about how as I don't know what firewall rule or setting was interfering in the first place the fix just said Prevented incoming connections that could have been anything. So if someone have a running theory shot it at me so I shall make a mental note if I see this again.
(Issue Solved but input on how the firewall could have blocked HFS when no block rule was in place would be appreciated for time stamp reasons will keep a eye on this for up to a week from now)
