Opening Ports 2077 and 2078

[LBL]

I have webdisk loaded on my desktop, but it says that I have to open ports 2077 and 2078.

I opened them up on my router, but still nothing. I get an error message.

Any ideas? Oh and I'm using Vista (if that makes any difference)

TIA

Maybe Vista has a built in firewall, if so you might have to open the ports there too. In your router, you could forward those ports to the LAN address of your PC.

I think you will have to change Windows firewall settings:

Click start orb -then-
Click Administration Tools -then-
Click Windows Firewall with Advanced security -that will open-

Click Inbound rules or Outbound rules (or both depending on what you are doing) -then-
click add a new rule

You will see this screen.



You should be able to figure it out from there.

Actually this is an issue with Vista as I am having the same problem. Trying going to Start/Computer/ then Click on Map Network Drive.

Type in https://yourdomain.com:2078 enter in your user and password and that should be it but it is not working.

here is a link for a patch for vista but it doesn't work

If you get it working please let me know

Well, I did what the second post said to do and I got further in the process then before. Now my problem is: it asks for your user name and password, but it's not accepting them (I was using the HM un and pw)...

So any ideas from there?

I have my website up from using unlimited FTP, but I've read that using Web Disk is easier because you can drag and drop.

That is where it sticks for me too. This is an issue with Vista so hopefully the SP1 package will take care of it.

I still can't get it to open the web disk. I can't get through the process you have the instructions for. When I put in the web location, it tells me the location does not exsist. I tried putting in http://thardin.com but does not allow. Got to be I am putting in the wrong location, but how do I know the location? Is it a location on my hard drive or a location on the web @ hostmonster?

Did you setup the web disk in cPanel yet?
(its under the files section)
