I additionally want to grant some users so that they can access files remotely without having to VPN into the network proper. We have some spare static IP addresses and I want to assign one of them via the static NAT function on the Cisco firewall to the HP box. I would open port 80 and 443 on the firewall to the external IP address. I understand that at this point I may have a self signed certificate, we have one already on the SBS server signed by a third-party, I am happy to keep the certificate as is on the HP box. My question is: Will this just allow the connection to go through and thus be accessible via that IP address? I would edit the DNS externally so that for example server2.domain.com points to this new static IP address. Or, is it best to open up the relevant ports on the firewall, and accept that I need to use an alternative domain name to access the server to get remote access working proper? I have read that...

I used process explorer to see how much cpu utilization Twonky was using and it was only around 20%. Seems ok to me?

My whole network is protected by a PFSense Firewall/Router. I have managed to assign on of the five addresses to my PFSense firewall, but I have not found a capability on the 3800HGV-B to setup a static route to route the other four addresses to my Firewall. The usint seem to have a limitation to only assign one IP to a single MAC address and there seems to be NO Statis Route facility. My PFSense is in route mode as I also have Comcast Cable router so I use it as a Wan Aggregator what works great. Any suggestions?

I have a domain and purchased dynamic dns from TZO to be able to remote access my HP Mediaserve EX485 My problem is trying to configure my router a Zyxel P660HN-F1Z . Now when I insert www.xxxxx in my browser I get the router configuration log in screen rather than the HP Mediaserve home page ! Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

I've adjusted the security settings for the folder to allow access only to this folder. This seems to work fine, but the remote webpage also shows website links to the server's home page, media streamer, photo publisher, and photo viewer. My idea was just to provide my family access to a folder with pictures that they could download, view etc. But, with the other webpage links, they give you a workaround the security settings. For example, if you click on the link for the server home page, now you have access to a bunch of links like the media streamer. So now they have access to all the music, videos etc. Also, the photo viewer shows everything. I saw the other posts on the photoviewer and that is a lost cause. But if I could just adjust the webpage, I think I will solve my problem. There doesn't seem to be any configurations in the server settings to adjust the web page. Are there any addin's or methods to modify the web page to remove these extra links? Any help is appreciated.

However when i turn it on it fails when it trys to "verify that your remote website is available from the internet" I am using a Linksys WRT310N V2 and have Charter as my provider. I continued with the configuration even with this failure and signed up for a TZO custom domain name. I purchase a domain name but it is not showing up listed in the domain name on the server. I am a technical guy and willing to try anything but am not a network guy so i am lost on this one. Any suggestions on what i need to do to the router or server to get this to work. Also i will be getitng a new DOCSIS 3.0 modem later next week should i wait till that is in to do any troubleshooting?

All was fine with remote access from launch in December through a couple of weeks ago. Now, attempts for Remote Access delivers an error page when attempting to connect. Nothing specific is noted in the error, but can not connect to the secure area of the server. Public Photo Publisher files are accessed fine. When clicking on the Settings option in the top right of the server console interface, I get an error pop up that states in the top; "Failed to load Windows Home Server Remote Access website settings" and in the grey area; "Root element is missing." Do I need to copy a file from the recovery disc, or do I have to lose all on the drive and do a restore?
