I have another web server running on my HAL machine. Will this affect HomeNet?

If you have another web service running on port 80 then you will need to change the port that the HomeNet is set to use. To change the default port, right-click on the ear icon and select OPEN SYSTEM SETTINGS or go to Start... Programs... HAL... HAL System Settings. Double-click on HOMENET. In the HomeNet Settings screen, click in the Port field and type a different port number, such as 81. Click DONE to close the HomeNet Settings screen, then click DONE again to close the HAL Settings screen.

NOTE: You will need to shut down HAL and restart it in order for the change to take affect.

If you change the port number for HomeNet, you will need to modify the URL address you use to access HomeNet. For instance, if the computer name is "mycomputer" then the URL based on the computer name will be http://mycomputer:81. (Go back to the HomeNet Settings screen to see the modified URL.)
