Anyone using remote access with their Windows Home Server on VOD? Just trying to confirm if my non-working remote access is due to ports being blocked. When I initially set it up it worked but now it no longer works. Thanks. |

I did get my system to work. Mine was the same case as yours, it initially worked, and then it came up blocked. I found an article on the ports that I needed to open in my router that the automated UPNP system didn't open. I can get you the list of ports when I get home tonight. Other than that, the remote access works great.
EDIT: I just looked this up, and you need to forward ports 80 (both), 443 (both) and 4125 (TCP) to your Windows Home Server. Once I did this, remote access started working fine for me.
Also, I can only use IE for remote access, Firefox doesn't work for remote access.
This is the site that helped me out:

A good doc on WHS and remote access:

Make sure you let us know if this worked for you. |

I am using a Trendnet tew-633 GR router and a Proline F90-610015-06 modem.
All my ports are forwarded as required, I have even upgraded my line to a basic dynamic business line as I had read on the Home server forums that ports 80 and 443 are blocked on residential lines and it still doesnt work.
Edit: when you say both for ports 80 and 443 what do you mean? I forwarded both ports on TCP/IP, do I need to do UDP as well on the router?
Edit 2: penberth, adding the UDP ports to the router port forwarding configuration worked, now remote access is working! Do I need a business account though since it appears it was the missing UDP ports that was causing my problem? Thanks |

| Yes, I meant that you had to forward both TCP and UDP on port 80 and 443.
You shouldn't need a business account. I don't believe that I have a business account, I've never told them anything like that.
Glad to hear you got it working. Enjoy. |
