Hello, I'm behind router but it's set to pass through all connections (DMZ enabled) so I think there should be no port problem involved. Selftest passed OK but still I can't connect to HFS from outside.
When I open the internal IP http://192.168.15.100:8080/ HFS works. But when anyone opens my external IP in browser http://xx.xxx.66.38:8080/ they just can't connect. Not even I. So where is the problem? All my other P2P programs work great...

I've had routers before that had their remote management setup to port 8080 and even though it was disabled the port was still "claimed" and no connections on the port were forwarded to the destination PC. The solution was to change the port the remote management was using.

Shame on me... I found the reason why it didn't work. :-[
The problem's name is ESS (eset smart security). Don't know why but in "easy mode" it blocked HFS. I had have to switch to "advanced mode", allow connections for HSF and now HFS works even when I switched ESS back to "easy mode". Dumb me...

Haha I thought from the title your problem was the same as mine :) I use ESET Smart Security in policy-based filtering, much nicer, you can configure rules but still have it follow automatic filtering procedures.
