Windows home server access

I can't access the computers at a remote location that uses Windows Home Server.
The remote location (my office) has a static ip address and is running the original home server software.
I'm running XP.
When I connect to the Home Server Web Site using Firefox the "computers" tab is missing. When I connect using Explorer the "Computers" tab is there.
Help

Firefox has some issues with activeX afaik.
Plugins maybe?

Thank you.

Home Sharing in Itunes 9 on Windows Home Server

I have installed iTunes 9 and have started using Home Sharing. I want to be able to use Home Sharing with my WHS (Windows Home Server) as our music is stored there and we have iTunes on all computers, plus 2 iphones and iPods.
This would need a Home Sharing server (service) to run on the WHS. Has Apple produced such a piece of software or can I install the Home Sharing component of iTunes 9 on my server? I am advised (by Microsoft) that installing iTunes 9 is not a good idea on WHS as WHS is designed to run services not user apps.
Any suggestions or has Apple someting in plan?
It seems that sharing between PCs is a bit behind the times when many people have moved over to Home Servers or NAS drives.

I too would like to would like to know how to implement iTunes on Windows Home Server (WHS) so my Music library can be stored on a redundant source that is always available to be accessed from any PC in the house. Does Apple have a way to do this or plans to create a product for WHS?
I understand Firefly can be used to stream music content on a WHS, but think this should be a complete iTunes solution with a common library and allow playlist storage from iTune clients that connect to it.

TS1490 i am running Windows Home Server 2011 and iTunes can't seem to connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on my Library. What do I need to do?

I am running Windows Home Server 2011 and have installed iTunes on my dedicated server, attached to my router. I can't connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on the server ONLY (iTunes runs fine on by two other PCs and my Apple TV and I share the libary that resides on the server). I am running a very current version of iTunes 64 bit. I have run the connectivity test and it failed.
My guess is that there is some setting in the Server software that i need to change to let iTunes access urls or computers on the internet. Does anyone have any experience with this software combination?
Thank you

Some guy managed to get this to work. The following link is for iTunes 10.5 but it should work for the current release.

Windows Home Server and iTunes

Hi, I have the following setup (all machines on GBit LAN):
- a Windows Home Server machine with all my music on it (currently stored raw on the filesystem)
- 3 Windows XP machines
- 2 iPods
I would like an authoritative answer on how to setup iTunes on my network so that:
- I can maintain a central, organised store of my music on the Windows Home Server
- I can access all my music and podcasts on the PCs without having to copy it locally
- I can sync my iPods normally
I would like to avoid 3rd party software such as Firefly if at all possible. The WHS machine runs headless (as is normal practice) so any solution should avoid the use of desktop apps like iTunes on the server.
As WHS is gaining widespread acceptance as a home file and media server, if Apple do not have a suggested setup for iTunes/WHS I would suggest it would be a good idea to develop one.
Please note, with respect, I would like to avoid speculation. If you haven't actually done the above and proven the solution, please refrain from speculating to avoid people (myself included) going down potential dead ends.
Thank you

Has anyone found a way around this?

Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

Hi guys,
I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Simi

You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac. You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011.
The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

EA6500 - Windows Home Server 2011 UPN Setup

Can you please ge to work on this. I like access to files on the road and I manually setup the router since UPN did not work but occasionaly it is unavailable. Running setup via the Windows Home Server interface always fails on the port forwarding step and tells me to set it up manually.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You may at least try the reset and see if that will help. If ever after the reset and reconfiguration, you still get the same issue, especially about that particular device listed multiple times on the list, then it may be a problem of the router and possibly a firmware problem.

WVC80N & Windows Home Server 2011 R2

I have successfully installed my WVC80N on my network and can view it from my laptop and phone both when i am on my network and over the internet.
The problem i am having now is trying to get it to work with my Windows Home Server 2011 R2. I can not get it to display the video unfortunately and was wondering if anyone knew why this was happening. My best guess is that my Home Server has a port blocked that is used to receive the video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be a browser setting on the server computer. Try to check the browser settings and you may need to adjust the firewall settings on the computer as well. And if possible, try to use another browser to view the video. By the way, even on local access for the camera or video it does not work?

Windows Home Server 2011, uPnP and HH2

Hi. Just connected a new Windows Home Server 2011 based server to my network. When trying to setup the server for remote access, the server, after attempying to setup the HH2 reports that the router "doesn't support uPnP". Any ideas?

I am sure that it does. Look under "game and application sharing", on the hub menu, there should be an option to enable uPnP.
Alternatively you will have to map ports manually.

Windows Home Server & WRT54G Problem - WHS

I am trying to set up my new Windows home server to work on my (otherwise working fine)home network. WHS is supposed to be super easy. Yes, and the MS tooth fairy...
Anyway, my WHS will not connect to the network or apparently even the WRT54G router. WHS has not yet connected to the internet either thru my broadband router. When I open up the Server Console on the server (other networked PC's can't see the server yet), go to settings to trouble shoot, I am getting a message that the router is not configured & no router IP address is found. I have my router set up for auto DHCP & pretty much everything else on default. Double checked the cables, they are fine. Somehow WHS will not connect to my WRT54G (V. 6, w/latest firmware update 1.025!)
Server console page gives error message at "Verifying that your router supports UPnP standards", "Verifying that your router is accepting web site connections" and Verifying that your router is accepting Remote Access connections". Yet, when I log into router at 192.168.1.1/Manage.htm it says UPnP is enabled. The rest of the networked computers work just fine. But apparently I have trouble between WHS and WRT54G. Is this a UPnP issue? If so, how resolve? MS's web site is really weak on WHS troubleshooting.
ANY ADVISE?????

I think I know your problem: on your WHS machine, go start>right click "My computer">properties>hardware>device manager... I'm guessing you have a yellow question mark sign over your ethernet controller, and no listing for "Network adapters". If this is the case, then basically the WHS install didn't recognise you LAN, so it can't communicate with your network and hence isn't being assigned an IP by your DHCP router. To solve, open you computer, and read off the motherboard product id and manufacturer. Go to their website, find the downloads section, find your motherboard id (i'm assuming you're using the onboard LAN) and download the LAN driver. Move the files over to the desktop of your WHS with a USB key or something, extract and run the installer. Restart, and if we're onto the right thing, then voila! I hope this is it... -Dave

Windows Home Server & WRT610N

Ok i am trying to login to server though IE. I am trying to setup router so this will work. I have two problems it says.
(1) Verify that your router is accepting Web site connections
(2) Verify that your router is accepting RemoteAccess connections
I thought i changed everything i need to in router but still get this. Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks For looking and hope you can help me. Bill

Your router must not be configured for Remote Access...
Access your router and go to the Administration tab and make sure UPnP is Enabled...
Also Enable Remote Management and click Save Settings...
Click on Applications and Gaming and manually forward the following TCP ports to the IP address of your Windows Home Server...Ports are 80, 443, and 4125...
Click on Set-up and change the MTU to 1400...
Once the configuration is complete, another check takes place green checks throughout indicate a proper configuration...

LR photos, network storage and Windows Home Server photo sharing?

I'm trying to integrate my photos, now on a local desktop hard drive into my new Window Home Server network and Lightroom.
I've read up on network storage and LR. I do have a question about photo sharing through Windows Home Server. WHS has a Photos folder for sharing photos over the network. I'm assuming that I should store LR related photos in another folder (I know about the catalog having to be on the local computer where LR resides) and then copy photos to be shared to the Photos folder?
I'm also wondering about the utility of having LR photos on the network storage and only accessing them through the local computer vs having photos on the local computer and having copies on the network.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone about how they have organized LR, WHS and network storage.

See this FAQ:

Windows Home Server 2011 and Windows 8.1 desktop

My questions is whether a Windows Live account and a local account can be combined in Windows 8. I asked this question in Microsoft Community and
an MS employee said I should ask my question here.
Is there a way to have both active?
I want to reap the benefits of having a live account to keep everything in sync and fully utilize the features of Windows 8.1 but I have a Windows Home Server 2011 that requires that I have a local user account that matches the server side so that I can
use resources on the server.
I've seen lots of tutorials for switching between the two account types but nothing for combining them.
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance

Your question has not been answered.
Windows Home Server 2011 does not use domains, so even if you had Windows 8.1 Pro, you'd still be left without a solution. I have one PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise and that does work with Home Server; and a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and that works fine
too. Like you, I have issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone from Microsoft Server actually read these posts?
@PeterPensive,
the OP's original question was relating to "linking/combining" an MS Account with a Win8.x local account. That question was answered. (the answer is no), so, for a WHS scenario, linked accounts aren't possible, but, in Win8.x, an MS Account might be suitable
for use with WHS.
Are you confirming that an MS Account on Win8.x works ok with WHS?
