809569 2009-09-13 00:45:00 Hey as some of you might know from my previous thread I have just set a server up. And now I am wondering is there any way to allow access to my server over the internet?
So what I would like to be able to do is enter in a UNC path on the client pc in another location and then I can login and access data on the server's hard drives.
Is this possible?

809570 2009-09-13 01:02:00 You should have continued from your other thread (pressf1.co.nz) otherwise it'll get too complicated with too many posts Speedy Gonzales (78)
809571 2009-09-13 01:16:00 sorry will do then. Did that once and continued on and got told that I should have started a new thread.
Any chance a mod can delete this thread?

809572 2009-09-13 01:54:00 have a read of Google Search - 1st document (www.google.co.nz)- its a MS Word Doc, it gives you the basic's of the server setup.

Edited: This article as well (articles.techrepublic.com.com)

Another way if it doesn't work is to use something like TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com) - load it on the server to run all the time - set up your own password, then on the client PC, load in Team Viewer - conenct that way - to open documents etc its liek sitting in fro of the server - if you wanted to transfer documents, TV has the option to do that as well.

Thats one of the cool things I like about WHS - the remote access from anywhere in the word, no special software on the client required - simply a web browser.

809573 2009-09-13 02:04:00 Only thing I'm finding with team viewer is that sometimes my server which is an old P4 running XP (its for backups only) is that sometimes it locks up especially if the firewall wants permission to run something. Have ZA on it, thinking of going back to the Windows firewall for a while see if it still happens. One day will upgrade to WHS gary67 (56)
809574 2009-09-13 02:11:00 hmm wondered why nobody was continuing on with my older thread like speedy said they are all here. wainuitech I am running 2003 server, and my mate wants to access it and dont really want to give him my teamviewer password. Thought you had to pay for teamviewer for servers? nedkelly (9059)
809575 2009-09-13 02:12:00 wow had a look at that .doc file wainuitech and wow. Reading through it I think it is aimed at companies that have more than one server nedkelly (9059)
809576 2009-09-13 02:48:00 Just try try RDP as admin.....use DDNS on your router and port forward to the server... SolMiester (139)
809577 2009-09-13 04:17:00 +1 for RDP!

There are a few security concerns, but it should be fine anyways..

Setup a VPN Server, easiest / best way, as XP / Vista / 7 all have a built-in method to connect to it !
