Setting up Home Server for internet access

Akumos · Jan 12, 2011

Hi all

I've set it all up, opened the ports on my router and everything is working fine except internet access.

In the details page everything is OK ecxept 'Verifying Remote Access is Accessable from the Internet'.

I looked into it and people said my ISP may be blocking connection but I rang them and they said they don't.

Any ideas or do you need any more information?

Thanks

Sorry! I didn't realise your reply was a question...

I want to configure internet access to my windows home server!

You can use teamviewer without messing with router stuff. its easy and is one of my favorite VPN apps.

I'm trying to configure home server with web access to stream music and video

It turns out, I had to change the ports it connects on from 80 and 443!! All wokring!

I did the exact same thing to get mine working for internet access i changed mine to 8008 and 600 though jus to be sure it was working.

Windows Home Server is immense, shame that Vail was so rubbish, the beta anyway.

I don't like how they got rid of drive extender in vail. vail=fail.

See that's no big issue for me, because windows server 2008 which is what vail is designed on you can set up raid arrays, or jut change to dynamic and extend the volumes.

RAID can be a pain though. It was on my media PC.....

What way did you find it a pain? Did you use a dedicated raid card or OS based?

Might have been a pain becuase it was an HP media pc.

HP had it in RAID 0 and I tried to have 5 partitions (came with 2) and it killed it. It wouldn't boot. My sister wanted to have a dedicated scratch disk partition for adobe stuff. it was fine with 4 and adding the 5th did something to the rest of the paritions and made it unbootable. I don't remember much other details but it was ugly and I had to break the RAID. It;s in normal mode now with 2 disks totalling 750GB in 5 partitions.

I know most people don't have several partitions becuase they don't care and that's what HP thinks. Bleh.

HP must have done some wierd stuff to it or something.

HP always do dodgy stuff with there setups, the main reason you probably had an issue is because of the recovery partition!
