    I'm going to be away from home and will access shared folders on my server over the Internet. I would like to be able to run the Console so I could launch a backup of the server after changing files and uploading them back to the server. Any way to do that?

    Yes, just log in via your remote access website. Goto the Computers Tab and you should see your server listed - this gives access to the Console unlike supported clients (i.e. XP Home) where you see the computer desktop.

    Do you have Remote Internet Access set up - if so you can do it from there.

    Yes, I do, but I have only used it to access shared folders on the server. I have not used it to control a workstation on the home network. I do normally have one connected laptop running XP Home that I leave running even while away, but I don't know if that PC can be controlled remotely.

    I just looked and see that XP Home can't be controlled remotely.  ;-(

    I thought you wanted to control your Server, not a Client. Yes you are correct, the Home versions of XP, Vista & W7 do not have Remote Desktop Connection capability.

    Is it possible to run the WHS Console on the server through remote access? I have not seen anything other than Shared Folder access.

    I have logged on but there is no Computers tab. I must have not properly configured something.

    I found it. I normally run Firefox. I needed IE to get the Computers tab. I am in and ran the Console on the server. Thanks for your help.
