I agree with GE.  No change needed IMHO.

I agree that there is no need for a change, but as is said in the initial posts, i do find it strange you have to turn HFS off to set the port... It is good to discuss these things.

this procedure is not detailed.
you should mention how the port would be applied. you type 81 ..... then? how does HFS know that you are not typing a longer number, like 810. should we add a button "ok" near the port ?

how about this.
main window only show current port as a button, not editable. when we click on this button, another window show up where we can change the port and click ok/cancel.

another thing, i find the on/of button can be misunderstood. when i teach my friend how to use hfs, they always wonder when it shows on, the hfs currently on or they need to press the button to set hfs to on.

I have this problem with many programs. Like, 'Is it already ON or do I have to click on it to turn it ON?'. Can be confusing.

But in HFS' case, it is OK. Is the world showing, ON; is the red cross, OFF. Additionally, it lists in the log if the server turned ON or OFF.
