    Hi guys,

    Has anyone been able to install and use the windows phone connector on their WP8 handset and WHS2011?

    I have the add-in installed on my WHS and My Home Server installed on my new WP8 handset however when I enter in my remote URL but then it tells me "the specified server could not be contacted".

    I'm entering in my URL which goes like, https://<mydyndns>/remote but fails on both cellular and WLAN internally, even if I try internally at home with either my server name or IP address.

    Remote access works fine when using a PC browser. 

    Any tips?

    Thanks

    I managed to get it to work.

    Seems as though the WP8 app doesn't like the SSL error when using a dynamic DNS service.

    So I set up the .homeserver.com domain through the WHS wizard and now works perfectly!

    I'm seeing that also, I've tried re-install both the phone software and server software with no luck...

    I have WHS 2011, my home server app installed on my Windows Phone 8 with no problems, so the app works.
