Hello,
I try to set up a hub... I'm novice and I would need some help from experts :)
I installed and launch ptokax.
I set the address of the hub and disactivated the firewall.
I can connect on the hub on local... but when I try to connect from an other PC, I got this message:
"The requested address is not valid in its context."
I tried other hubsofts but I always have the same problem...
What should I do show my hub on internet?
Also I have a backup of an hub with some files and a MySQL database. What should I do to use this backup for the new hub I created?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
I forwarded the ports including the port 411 in the port range.
But the problem is the same...
If I set the address of the hub with myPublicIp:411 I even can't connect locally.
If I set the address to myPrivateIp:411 I can connect locally but still not from an other computer.
I also deactivated the firewall... what else am I missing?
Thank you for your answer.
I'm not familiar with these things... so I have some questions.

You haven't mentioned what your network hardware/topology is.
yes I'm behind a rooter.

If it does in Px you can set your WAN IP or Hostname in the hub address,
do resolve to IP, but do not bind to this IP and then be able to connect
to with either LAN or WAN address.
Should I set the WAN IP followed by ":thePort"?
I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "do resolve to IP, but do not bind to this IP"... you mean in case I set the hostname in the hub address? How can I resolve the ip?

If it doesn't support loopback you
will not be able to connect to it by WAN address, yet Internet users
can [provided everything is forwarded correctly]. You will have to connect
by LAN address.
does that mean that I have to set the LAN address in the hub address and everybody will be able to connect to my hub using this address?
