Hi bslampitoc,

Not totally sure but I think the following link might help you:

https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/prtg_server_administrator

What I highly recommend as a follow sys-admin, please DO NOT use port 80 at all - disable it and only use port 443 with a proper certificate to encrypt the web traffic for your own security.

There are even passwords transmitted to PRTG in order to set it up right - you don't want to send those clear text, not even on your private LAN, if you can avoid it by any means.

Hope the link helps - if not - is this an existing installation or a new one?

Regards
