CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just installed server 2012 Essentials R2 and I'm having problems with getting the anywhere access set up. I have ports 80, 443, 4125 forwarded and UPnP turned on in my router. I know it must be a setting issue because I'm going from WHS 2011 and that was working fine through my network. here are some pics of what I'm getting. Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If you know that you have forwarded the correct ports to the correct static IP address, then ignore the error and for sure turn off UPnP. Get outside of your LAN and see if you can connect. Link to post Share on other sites
CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Yes, I have a static IP set on it but I don't know what you mean by "correct static IP" and no I can not connect. I can give you the web address if you want. Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 By correct I mean the one the server is actually using. I'd be glad to check the URL. Link to post Share on other sites
CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 What setting do I need to change so I can see it under networks from other computers at home? Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 How did you install the connector software? Joining to the domain or skipping? Link to post Share on other sites
CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I did not know there was "connector software" I just put in the ip of the server in my browser or https://servernamealso worked. Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The connector software allows you to backup clients. Two ways to join, as a domain member or skipping the domain but still being allowed to backup. https://tinkertry.com/search?s=skip+domain Link to post Share on other sites
CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Ok, but what articke has the download for the software? It looks like the client needs to be running windows 8 to work and all my stuff is windows 7. Edited June 13, 2015 by CraigR Link to post Share on other sites
CraigR 0 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well I think Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials is junk for streaming files and I wasted 2 days on this just to find out it can't do it without being super slow and errors all the time. Looks like bak to whs2011 until I find something better. Link to post Share on other sites
