Windows – Why can’t the Windows Home Server see the internet

I've got an ASDL router at home, that is connected via ethernet to a wireless router. My wireless devices at home connect to my wireless network and get access the internet fine.

My Windows Home Server is connect to this same router via an Ethernet connection, but none of the remote features work over the internet.

If I cannot my WHS directly to the ADSL router, then it can see the internet and remote desktop, web server and all that jazz works, but the wireless devices I have on my home network can't see it.

I just don't know enough about networking to know how exactly and when a static route would do the trick or a change to the subnet.

What do I need to do in order to sort out my home network?

Best Answer

Does the wireless router have a firewall built in?

If so then turn it off and see if you can connect, if you can turn it back on and add rules to the firewall to allow the ports you need to pass through the firewall. If you still cannot access the remote features of your WHS from outside then your problem is more advanced than my network skills sorry.

Hope it helps
