port forwardig and listen on internal port not working

Closed this issue ยท 34 comments

After working several weeks with no problems hfs is topping after the leatest windows 11 update.
I can start the server itself, but its not responding any more on the the ports used before. Also the internet connection is not working .
I can't connect de local port also, so there in no possibility to get in the admin section.

I had set the following data in the modem. internal host 192.168.2.19 and external 86.80.132.170 on port 80.
There was no change to this. All what |I got is the error the server was time out, and 192.168......give no respons to admin connect

So I รกm lost on this point for now.

hey!
While HFS provides some functions to assist with port forwarding, it does not actually control this process, as it has very limited authority over it. Only you can (and sometimes neither you can ๐Ÿ˜„).
Access your admin panel, click "internet", and then "verify", and see what it tells you.

please, read again my instructions

Access your admin panel, click "internet", and then "verify", and see what it tells you.

it's not possible these steps brings the screenshot you posted

sorry that was the connection from the link.
here the internet connection and result from admin center/internet, in the modem there wass no change after the first install some weeks ago.

ok, first problem is that you selected the local address as main address (or so it seems).

click "change", and then probably your best option is "automatic", if you don't have a domain.
then try again

result I got this.

fix is not working

fix is available when "upnp" is enabled on your modem/router.
nonetheless it doesn't always work, and in such case you need to manually configure the port forwarding on your modem.
this website tries to help https://portforward.com/

strange at all, it was weeks long working and after windows update I got this problem

anyway, after "fix" fails, you should get a warning with a list of advices, that's actually more or less all i know about it ๐Ÿ˜„

one of these advices says "There could be a firewall, try configuring or disabling it."
did you consider it?

the port I have forwarded is 192.68.2.19 local it see this port.. My static net ip is 86.80132.170 this was working without errors.
yesterday I got the problems.

sorry, i don't understand your description of the configuration.
If you need more help, it's best if you post a screenshot of your configuration.
I assume you already tried to disable the firewall of your Windows as advised.

well I'am not the only one on this home network, so \I can't remove the firewall. Because there is many gaming and streaming from it.

the point was a test to know if it's the firewall, even temporarily,
and i'm talking about Windows firewall, that affects only your computer, not the whole network.

i don't use the windows firewall ;)

so you disabled Windows Firewall, which comes bundled with Windows, but you may be using another, same advice

oke fix it, is working now, but after set port forwarding it says the ip 192.168.2.19 what is my pc is not working

leatest saterday it was working with the same settings...... ????

i didn't touch your computer, i swear ๐Ÿ˜„
so, is the problem solved?

you said "is working now", so what is working? and what's not?
please provide screenshots, it's clearer

This what it says after fixx It... Your configured address http://192.168.2.19 doesn't seem to work ๐Ÿ˜ฐ
still, we are going to test your IP address ๐Ÿคž

after that : We couldn't reach your server from the Internet. Try port-forwarding on your router

I send the modem setting forwarding ports.

The same results with windows defender who is on al the time my pc was installed to off.

since HFS is trying to use the address "192", it seems you didn't follow my instructions.

ok, first problem is that you selected the local address as main address (or so it seems).

click "change", and then probably your best option is "automatic", if you don't have a domain.
then try again

Anyway, even after this necessary fix, i don't expect your problem to be solved.
the configuration of your modem seems correct.
The rule with "UDP" is actually useless and can be deleted. HTTP is TCP only, not UDP.
Something else is blocking HFS, i cannot know what. Normally it's Windows firewall (also called WIndows Defender Firewall).

I had set it to Off, but also after that it was not working again. So what is changed after windows 11 was updated yesterday I have no idea. :(

also hfs.exe has public acces in the firewall settings

i'm sorry, i'm out of advice here :(

You have done your best , I thank you for that!

Don't ask me what I have done, but I can acces the server from my website at the static ip. ;) I have set only a another port from 80 to 82

cool! i'm closing this then
