Q: I can locally browse my server, but my friends cannot. IE says "The page cannot be displayed".
A: there are several possibilities

1£¬a firewall is blocking your friend. winXP has one, which by default 2blocks a software like HFS (a server).
2£¬your internet connection is not working properly
3£¬you are working behind a proxy/router system, then the address you are giving out is not reachable by your friend

-------------------
would somebody  tell how to do it in more details???

3q so much!!!

If you are running Windows 9x, click Start -> Run -> winipcfg.
Navigate through until you see your device which you go online with.
(If you use a modem to go online, then navigate to your modem, if you go online via LAN (Ethernet, Wireless etc) then select your appropriate adapter that you go online with.
Once you selected your adapter, look at your IP address. If your IP address is located in these ranges, then your are on LAN.
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
For Windows XP, click Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK -> ipconfig -> Enter.
We will see your adapter's IP address and just look at the IPs above to see if you are on LAN. (This should work with NT based systems too.)

To help you further more, please provide more information about your connection. What operating system you have and what connection you use to go online etc.

I had that problem when I installed a linksys router, now all I do is go to
http://ipchicken.com/ and copy my address then in hfs hit
menu then ip address and add it that way.

check on address bar if port no is included after IP or not...if not then double click on HOME picture which you will find under "Vertual File System" and make sure port number must come up after IP, after that ask your friend type the address including port no... I am 100% sure he will see your page after
