You may need to add services from your broadband provider to use the remote-access features in Windows Home Server. For more information, see Broadband/ISP Requirements for Remote Access.
For more information about setting up Remote Access, see Windows Home Server Settings, Remote Access.
You cannot use the Guest or the Administrator account to log on to Remote Access. You must log on with a user account that is enabled for Remote Access.
