| 594210 | 2007-09-24 21:05:00 | The remote access to files from almost any PC in the world is almost Idiot proof (almost) and easily available from a web browsser with out having to know how to setup remote access. I am still using a beta, actually, I better check when it runs out!?...anyway, the remote access can be difficult to set up, port forwarding on the router is required and with the beta, no instruction on which ports to use were given & and DDNS also.... |

| 594211 | 2007-09-24 21:29:00 | I looked at WHS for a while, I thought it would be cool to have it on a mini-ITX pc, in one of the square mini-ITX cases – you can get a few hard drives in these. I guess I decided it wasn’t really what I needed, but if you have 2-3 PC’s, I think it’s a great idea. | Enigmur (10547) | ||

Port 80 and 443 for the standard web access. 4125 if you want remote desktop. |

Yeah Sol- the Beta was not to clear - but thats Beta's for ya! RC1 was better as it auto configured most routers - But there was also a lot of discussion on the WHS Forum regarding port forwarding. If you do a search on Google for "Ports to open WHS" there are several instant answers. OEM - or RTM - what ever you like to call it - when i was testing the new version it reconfigured several routers automatically, and on one that it didn't there was a help pop up giving advice on what to do. If you are using Beta's and not the RC then the time is very nearly up I think. RC1 expires on sometime in December or Jan - can't remember exactly. The comment I meant regarding remote access to the server from any browser was actual access once its going. The average home user doesn't know how to setup remote access on a home PC. With WHS (as you know:thumbs:) Open a browser IE works best - as some others wont show the networked PC's. type in your address https://yourusername.homeserver.com - you get a log in page, enter the user name and password created and your in. Couldn't be much easier.:) Will be interesting to see how well it sells when places like HP finally get it into the shops - if ever. |

| 594218 | 2008-01-02 12:38:00 | ive just about finish building my new WHServer, still got the RC1 version, but what i want to know is can i install the RC1 now and later install the Retail version with out reinstalling, like upgrading. | lflashl (4471) | ||
| 594219 | 2008-01-04 11:03:00 | I doubt that your RC1 software will even be installable now as it was due to expire late-Decemebr 2007 but if you can install it then yes, you are able to "upgrade" to the final retail version without having to do a complete re-install/reformat. | Chemical Ali (118) | ||
