Unable to Set Up Remote Access on Windows Home Server
- by Matt Hanson
When trying to turn on Remote Access on my Windows Home Server (HP MediaSmart Ex485, MediaSmart Server 3.0, Power Pack 3), I am not able to continue through the wizard as this first check fails:
"Verifying that your remote Web site is available locally"
Everything else on the server works fine, including being able to:
Ping server
RDP to server
Access all shares as expected
Browse to both http://servername and http://servername:55000
I have noticed though that I am unable to browse to http://servername:56000 as I should be able to do.
I've performed a server recovery to reset the installation to factory defaults, with no such luck.
