I thought I set it up correctly?

[Dan]

I set up every thing correctly, I have my external IP address correct, every thing is right, the Port forwarding is right, though it still dosent connect outside of my router? I have tried many different ports, I have a static IP address from the router. I have no clue whats wrong, Please help

ensure you are using version 2.1a

what does the "self test" say?

[Dan]

Wow thanks for the quick reply, yes I am using HFS 2.1a, the self test message says "The test failed: Sever does not answer  You are behind a Router. Ensure it is configured to forward port (my port number) to your computer".

[rejetto]

did you follow the guide on www.portforward.com ?

[Dan]

Yes, I have read it perhaps 3 times if not more over.

[rejetto]

what port?

[Dan]

I have tried port 80, 61, 57, 8080, 8081, 987, 412. yeah....

[rejetto]

did you try disabling your software firewall?

[dan]

on the router its off, and same with the computer.

[rejetto]

What i would do is: try putting another web server.
If it doesn't work either, you can tell it has nothing to do with HFS.

[dan]

What do you mean try putting another web sever, it works when I use the ip address from the router. But not my external one.

[rejetto]

another software different from HFS.
this is just an extramove, i admit it is hard to be useful.

[dan]

any thing else you can think of??

[rejetto]

did you recently get a server working (over the internet) with your current router and connection?

[dan]

I did have it working once, and did not change any thing in between then and now.
