Applies To: Windows | Windows 7 | Networking and Getting Online

I have set up my home network main computer Windows 7 Home premium, ASUS TS mini with Windows Homeserver connected to a British Telecom Home Hub 3. Within the house the system is fine and I can connect wirelessly from my laptop to the Windows Home Server.

I have enabled remote access and my ISP says the ports are all open, the desktop states remote connection ia available.

I have my own domain name.

I find the following problems if i use http://xxxxxxx.homeserver.com I am directed to the windows server web page however once i click logon on i get an error message cannot display web page

If I use https://xxxxx.homeserver.com it immediately displays the same error message 'cannot display web page.

My laptop also uses windows 7 home premium

Is this the problem home premium or is there a fix or do i need to do something else

Looking forward for some help many thanks

MJ

Is port 443 forwarded properly in the router?

Remote administration in the router itself is disabled?

If you try to run https://yourservername from home, would this work?

well after a bit of search and then trying it on the Vista Home Premium laptop here at home, I found a solution that works great

I think OP is having trouble logging onto the homeserver, not logging onto the client computer.

As Olaf suggsets, it seems that port 443 may not be set up correctly.
