Hello,
I've just gotten HFS running and it's amazing. I have a quick question regarding using the URL feature to forward to another webserver running on the same box.

I have sabnzbd running (a usenet downloader) on port 80 and I would like to create a link to this webserver from within HFS. If I create the link, it works inside my LAN just fine. However, when I attempt to access it externally, it will not work (resolves to the private IP 192.168.1.100\sabnzbd)

Is this sort of thing possible with HFS? I would love to be able to do this, as I now use ssl explorer for this functionality but much prefer HFS for it's speed and simplicity.

Thanks to all for any help.

Dan

Sure you can, you just need to set a different Port for each server, and then have a link to the same address %host%:Port and it should work.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

So in order to make this work I'm going to need to make this web-server WAN (internet) accessible?

Then, I'll go into HFS, click on "URL" type in %HOST%:80 and it should work? (Do i need to type in my WAN IP anywhere?)

Sorry for the confusion, I read through about 25 pages of this forum last night and couldn't really find any reference to anybody else doing this.
