Troubleshooting tips
Having problems setting up Windows Home Server? Ensure that you’ve taken these simple steps:
Plug in and power on your home server.
Connect your home server with a wired network connection to your broadband router or to a switch that is connected to your broadband router.
If you’ve encountered issues while setting up your home computers with the Windows Home Server Connector software, run through this quick checklist:
Connect your home computer to your home network (using either a wired or a wireless connection), and make sure the home computer is on the same logical network as Windows Home Server.
Make sure firewall software on your home computer is not blocking access to Windows Home Server.
If your computer has been joined to a corporate network (such as a corporate laptop), check with the corporate network administrator about the IPsec policy. This may block access from the corporate computer to Windows Home Server.
