Hi all,

I have a WHS 2011 (an HP N40L)

It feeds music to Sonos and movies to my Dune media player, I access the WHS remotely via my laptop for maintenance. Everything works perfectly no issues at all.

I have just bought a new laptop as the one mentioned above is slowly but surely going to laptop heaven.

Via a browser I have gone to the IP address of the WHS on the new laptop followed all of the instructions, but when I try to connect I get told to get lost. I can log in via the dashboard, but not remotely.

It logs me into the remote homepage where it proceeds to tell me either the username or password is incorrect. The password is fine (as the old laptop connects using the same password).

Should the username be servername/username or it just username, tried both ways, neither way works and my head hurts.

Cheers
 
Fixed.....don't know how but there you go.

You try and do something for an hour with no success, take a 10 minute break, come back to it and fix it in 30 seconds.

Happy days!
