Yes, that works for me. Odd about the wildcard.

I found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364687.aspx (reading it makes my head hurt)

Someone elsewhere is saying they are having problems when using a host name instead of an IP address in their URL. I wonder if that is something to do with all these weak and strong and explicit buckets

Is your system running in Spanish? If so, you could try user=\todos

The last part - \users - is language dependent, so you will need to use whatever the equivalent is on your system. user=todos might be what you want.

It can't connect to the station(or it connected but the station then disconnected). Or VirtualVP rather than the station, if that's what you're using.

CumulusMX with administrative rights works, but virtualvp can´t open. Cumulusmx without administrative right have error open directly or open with virtual vp.

Sorry, I have nothing else to suggest. If it doesn't work without administrative rights that suggests that the netsh command isn't working properly. I can't help with VirtualVP, I gave up trying to use that years ago because of the various problems with it.

Have you tried different forms of the IP address as suggested in this thread and the one I linked to? You had it working before so presumably you're doing something different this time.

Hello:

After try, try and try, at the end works by:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8998/ user=\Estación

I am administrator with name "Estación". Todos and Usuarios don´t works.

Must I delete this?:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8998/ user=\Todos

What is the difference between +:8998 and *:8998 ?


Thanks to Steve and at all. :D :) :) :)

If you can start MX how you want to with the settings that you now have, then I would leave it exactly as it is.
