    All,

    I have a hp ex495 that has been running fine for several months, until the other day.  Now I cannot connect to the WHS from eithet the Console or RDC.  In addition I cannot access the shared drives and it does not show up on any of the my 3 client PC's and the icon is greyed out.  I can ping the server by address or name with no problems.  This happened in the middle of copying some files and I have not made any recent changes to the WHS or my router.

    I have read a lot of the forums where the console was not working, but the RDC and share were, unfortunately not my case.  I have rebooted everything from the server, to clients to router, but no luck.  

    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks

    Hi,
    would Remote Desktop work, if you attempt to access the machine via IP address?

    Best greetings from Germany

    If Remote Desktop via IP address doesn't work, you can attempt the HP Server Recovery process. You'll find it documented in the documentation HP provided.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Could be that the only problem is that your server lost its network connection. Before trying anything drastic (like a server restore) you can try the following:

    1. Shutdown your server (by tapping the power button)
    2. Disconnect the servers powercord, wait about 30 seconds, then reconnect.
    3. Switch on the server.
