The following question is for information only.
During the initial self test, HFS tested several ports and told me that I should open/forward port 8080. I forwarded this port to the machine HFS is running on, and now it works fine.
My question is, as the Port in the Port field in HFS' main window I now specify 8080, and I tell external users to append :8080 to their URL. It works, but I wonder, do I have to explicitely set HFS to Port 8080 in that little Port window in the main HFS window, or could I leave the original 80 in there and it would still work (I can't test so much externally and am not sure whether internal tests and external (from outside the router) would have identical results, hence my question in this forum).
I.e., does HFS use 8080 anyway for some purpose and I am now telling HFS to use 8080 for 2 purposes, or why else did HFS request me to forward 8080 to this machine?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
