HomeGroup
A HomeGroup makes it easier to share pictures, music, videos, and documents with other computers running Windows 7. The HomeGroup is connected with a password, which you can change at any time, and you can always choose what you want to share with the group. Only those people who belong to the HomeGroup can see shared files and folders. Other people can't change the files that you share, unless you give them permission to do so.
After you purchase or install the server, you can create a HomeGroup for your computer network. If a HomeGroup already exists, you can join it. After you create or join a HomeGroup, you can select the shared folders that you want to share with the HomeGroup. You can prevent specific files or folders from being shared, and you can share additional folders later. You can leave a HomeGroup at any time.
Note: You should only use the HomeGroup tools available in the
Windows Home Server 2011 Dashboard to manage your
HomeGroup. If you use the HomeGroup tools that are available in
Control Panel, you can experience problems when sharing files and folders.
56
Remote Web Access
You must configure your home server for remote access to easily access your files and home computers from anywhere with an Internet connection. You can download files, upload files, connect to your home computers, and administer the home server.
To configure the home server for remote access:
Important: Only personal user accounts with remote access permissions can log on to the RevoCenter Series home page.
1 Double-click the Windows Home Server icon in the system tray.
2 Log on to the Windows Home Server Launchpad then click
Dashboard icon to log in with administrator password.
3 Click Settings.
4 In the navigation pane, select Remote Web Access.
5 Under Router, click Setup to configure your broadband router.
Make sure your router supports UPnP standards and the UPnP setting must be enabled on your router for Windows Home Server to automatically configure it.
In this step, Windows Home Server configures the persistent port forwarding from your UPnP certified router to your home server, as follows:
57
• Port 80 - Connects over your home network to the RevoCenter
Series home page using the HTTP protocol.
• Port 443 - Connects over your home network to the
RevoCenter Series logon page using HTTPS, an encrypted
Secure Sockets Layer protocol.
• Port 4125 - Connects to your home computers via the remote desktop proxy.
6 Under Domain Name, click Setup to set a personalized domain name for your home server (For example, smithfamily.homeserver.com).
A domain name uniquely identifies your home server on the
Internet. It is used to connect to your home server while you are away from home. Even if your Internet IP address changes, you can still connect to your home network with your personalized domain name. For example, you could register the name smithfamily.homeserver.com and then use that name to connect to your RevoCenter Series Web site.
Note: You need a Windows Live ID to set up a domain name for your home server.
7 Under Customize Remote Web Access, click Customize to change the logon page and home page links.
58
8 After you configure remote access, test the remote connectivity
from outside of your home. Refer to “Access the RevoCenter Series home page” on page 71.
