Help please!!!!

I'm spanish, but I understand reasonably good the english. I made all that seems needed to share but, when I send to my friend the url (that is http://(my ip)/(the file)) it says that the page can not be showed. I don't know why it happens. By the way, this program makes possible to share in a no LAN, no? So through internet (he from his home and me from my home). I expect that it happens due to the url but I don't know which I have to put if it isn't "http://(my ip)/(the file)". I can't view the file menu (I right click on the window but it doesn't show all the options, like set url, and other options). If someone could help me I would very appreciate it. Sorry about my english. Thanks

1. are you behind a router or a modem router?

2. did you try using the self test? what did it say?

[Kaka]

Yes, I have dsl conection and I'm behind a router (I don't know which is the difference between a router and a modem router), but I have opened the ports (by the way I have to open the ports of my computer ip no?). I didn't try to use the self test. What is it. How to do it?. Well, thanks a lot and good luck.

I opened the port 80 (the default), and in the napt window its says 80/http. Buy today the HFS says that it can not open the port 80 (yesterday it can) and I have opened the 4592 but in the napt window doesn't say 4592/http. It says 4592/4592. Only for your knowing. Thanks a lot.

But, if the url is http://(my computer ip)/(the file's name) it's probably that there would be a lot of computers with the same ip in the world. Thanks

Click on Menu -> Self Test

[Kaka]

In the menu there isn't a selft test option, and when I right click on the window there isn't this option. Thanks

By the way, I have the last version of Http File Server. Thanks

[Kaka]

Oh no, I didn't have the last version. Sorry. Now yes. Thanks

[rejetto]

[Kaka]

Now it works. Thanks a lot, sincerely. Good luck

[maverick]

i use charter high-speed...will it work? or no?

I can see no reason why it won't work from any ISP.  Give it a try.

[kakashisharingan]

Ok, my friend tried it and it didn't work...i am using port 81 and he said that "the page cannot be found" does he have to turn off his firewall or no....mine is off btw
