HGserver
This is the HyperGate Server which runs on or near your web server. By default HGserver listens on UDP port 8083 for MTP/IP transactions from HGclients, then forwards these on via HTTP to the web server at address 127.0.0.1, TCP port 80. You can configure HGserver to use other addresses and port numbers, and you can set certain performance parameters. This chapter contains detailed instructions for executing and configuring the hgserver program. Refer to the earlier Software Setup chapter for general instructions on installing and configuring HyperGate.
Target Web Server
If HGserver is running on the same CPU as the target web server and that server is operating on the standard HTTP port 80, then the default settings should work fine for you. Otherwise, the address of the target web server will need to be specified by either HyperGate URLs, HGserver’s “Host” configuration variable or HGserver’s the “-h” command line option.
Windows XP Firewall
After HGserver is installed on a system running Windows XP SP2 or later, you must make an exception for it in the system firewall. Begin by opening the "Windows Firewall" control panel.
Click on the "Exceptions" panel, then press the "Add Port" button. Enter a name of "HGserver", port number "8083", and click "UDP". Press "OK" to apply the settings, then "OK" again to close the control panel.
