Looking at the router sceenshots I noticed something I think is wrong.
In Basic Setup you had Starting IP Address as 192.168.1.100, but
in Apps & Gaming you have HFS1 forwarded to 192.168.1.50
I don't think that will work? I don't use port 80, no real reason.
I use something like 2080. Otherwise your router settings look
like mine.
A tip - the wrt54g will allow you to connect to HFS locally with your
external (internet) internet address, like
Code: [Select]
http://174.26.98.113:2080
Try this:
1. Reset your router in Setup > Basic Setup > Starting IP Address to 192.168.1.40
(Be aware that IF you have wireless devices come online set to automatic connect
they will take the lowest vacant ip first, and could cause a confilict, if the server
with a static local network ip comes on line later, it may find its assigned ip taken)
2. In Applications & Gaming > Port Range Forward , leave as is , but change port
start and end to 2080 or something other than 80.
3. Turn HFS off and set to that port, then make sure its turned back on.
5. Go to Status page in router and see what it shows as your ip address
then enter that in browser with :port after, or use hfs self test, etc and
see what happens.
