    As long as your ISP doesn't block the required ports, yes.

    The Windows Home Server Getting Started Guide will tell you the hardware requirements. And the other documents on the Support page of the WHS microsite will probably answer many questions you haven't even thought of yet. :)
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
