Hello,

I'm trying to configure PH to allow me to connect to my
PH web server from off my local network. I'm
controlling access via my firewall, so as far as the PH
server is concerned it should allow any control.

I'm as close to 100% sure that the firewall is letting traffic through as I think I can be. (I've got a squeeze
server on port 9000 that is setup the exact same was as
I have PH setup and it works like a charm.)

I think I have the PH web server setup correctly. In
the trusted IP's I have:

127.0.0.1;192.168.30.*; *.*.*.*

I tried just * as a global wildcard (192.168.30.* is my
local lan subnet.) but that didn't work either.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I don't think you can do that, but Dave would need to confirm.

Are you just trying to not get the login?

I would use PH's access control, as, I bet, less people use PH than your firewall (lower chance of attack).

Maybe I just didn't understand how the PH web server
works. I was under the impression that I needed that
set to be able to access the site at all.

I see now that without that you just need a password.
That's good, and I agree, I'm limiting IP's at the
firewall and using the login at the server level.

For some reason, rebooting the server with PH on it
seems to make it work now. I guess I must have poked it
one to many times and it just wanted a clean restart.
