HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Help Please

« on: April 23, 2006, 09:44:03 AM »

 Thank you so much, I have noted what you have said and also done some further research on this and now going to follow it through and get it to work. Should be fun and a learning experience, I am a fairly determined person and dont give up easily.

WEll having said all that, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!. done it all I think. HFS was not able to open port 80 before but now can so I guess I did the port forwarding think ok. However although i can see the page the url does not allow my friend access, "page cannot be displayed. So whilst I dont want to give up after many hours and I think sqare eyes, I feel like picking the comp up and throwing it out the door. :cry:  Oracle where are you??

could you please be a bit more specific.
Do you have a router and did portforwarding?
Didn't you give your local instead your external IP?

Mate i am the original novice. I am on 512 dsl broadband connecting via a  Netcom NB5 adsl2 modem router, running Zone alarm security Suite as my firewall and antivirus and anti spyware. I feel my prob is port forwarding which I would have to organise I guess in Zone Alarm but not quite sure How. I right clicked on folder that contains files that i wish to share with friends. I then pasted the url generated by HFS in a message window which my friend pasted to his browser. Page cannot be displayed, but if I do same I can get the page. Also did self test and yes it says that it appears you are behind a router. So where do I go from here please

I have downloaded your prog which seems to be great. I am a novice so please bear with me. I have right clicked and added to hfs and indeed  i can then access the web page, however when i give the link to friends it comes up as page cannot be displayed. What am i doing wrong???
