i must be missing something. i have installed the latest version and it still requires the hostname to be localhost, if i try to connect from a remote client and use the ip where frstack is running it just comes back with the webservice saying 400 hostname Bad Request - Invalid Hostname (clearly frstack is returning this, if i stop it i just get the browser reporting the site cant be found)

I guess he has not set in the webservice to have the api to be the default regardless of hostname? is this only a feature for the portable version for linux? and not a feature for the windows UI version?

Mark provides steps to allow external access to the REST commands in the Help/REST file. Click on "Help".

In summary you must:

• start FRStack with Admin privileges
• change the FRStack configuration file to allow non "localhost" IPs
• add a rule to your windows firewall for the REST port and IP address.
