Just to make sure, by "acting like a server", you mean to allow the Outgoing direction on the port right?
Thx
PS: U seem better than me in english and you're from France, I'm a French-Canadian.
thanks
you so ^^
(if you speak more french than english, there is a completely translated version of HFS in the french part of this forum)
And nope, I meant to allow incoming traffic, in fact, allowing external visitors to request a connection to your computer, to your HFS server more precisely. It's only
your local port, others can request from any port.
In your screenshot we can see the test on the 4437 from
web5.u2-web.com, and we can see it's blocked as the title of the windows shows it.
I do it also and look at my logs, it shows requests on severals ports and also the right one (and test worked, but my logs shows "accepted connection" ^^).
Have you tried to just allow completely HFS (in/out) ? Then allow only incoming traffic ? Then only incoming on your unique HFS port ? (in your firewall settings)
// edit: I tried with port 10000 and It was already forward by the firewall for some default feature. Didn't work. I tried with 7777 (which is Unreal's Port), still not working.
I set the HFS.exe to Ask for permission. When I use Self-Test, I can see the pop-up, even if I hit allow the test still fail. :s
for the popup it depends on your firewall rule, you accept to apply the rule you maked for HFS.
About the 7777 port, did HFS says that it was used by another application (try port 20000 or 25543 ^^), or it just didn't worked (dunno what to say...) ?
It makes me think that perhaps you configured some rules in HFS, like bans, listening on 127.0.0.1 or things that can do that it doesn't work... if this is the case, you could save all the ini, vfs and others created files, and test the selftest just after entering your choosen port at the top of HFS...
I begin to miss idea, I'll wait your answer to see if something matches what's happening to you
