I'm trying to use HFS to establish a webserver from which I can pull off files for use with my PSP.
I'm running:
Windows XP - Media
HFS 2.0
Have Verizon DSL
Use D-Link DI 524
Norton System Works 2005
I've followed the advice of http://psp.servegame.com/ and have had some success...
I can reach my webserver from my own PC through: http://localhost, my internal address, and my external address. But I'm unable to connect to my webserver from anywhere else (other wi-fi spots, etc). When I enter my external address from those spots I get "IE cannot display the webpage". Any ideas?
My Norton is setup to permit all connections to HFs, and I've tried many different set-ups for my router (DI-524) and none of them seem to work...
Any ideas, advice, etc that you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

what does the self-test say?

When I run the test it says:
Test Failed: Server does not answer
You may be behind a router or firewall.
By the way, I'm running Verizon DSL - Residential. I called them and they said that I'm unable to set up a static IP (I don't know if that's true, or if it matters; but I thought I'd mention it.)
Thanks!

the static ip is not the problem
try
1. disabling your firewall
2. following this guide http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-524/Http_File_Server-HFS.htm

I'm unfamiliar with Verizon DSL, but Verizon FIOS blocks port 80. So if you are using port 80, try another port.
