information. The following types of firewalls protect your network and computers: • Broadband router firewall • Windows Home Server firewall • Personal firewall Broadband router firewall The HP MediaSmart Server requires a broadband router. Broadband routers allow multiple computers and devices to share an internet connection using NAT (Network Address Translation) technology. NAT allows all the computers and devices on your network to use a single internet connection (IP address).
Firewall ports The following table lists the ports used by the server.
settings are toggled off by default and you must manually turn on the security settings. If the security settings are toggled off, anyone can access your network and may be able to get into the server and any computer or other device on your network. Firewalls and anti-virus software do not keep intruders out of wireless networks.
having to enter the user name and password when accessing a shared folder. Requiring logon to each computer on your network adds a level of security. For more information, see Why should logon names match? in the Windows Home Server Console Help. • Webshare passwords—you can require passwords for outside visitors to your Photo Webshare. See Photo Webshare security on page 6-27. Remote Access security By default Remote Access is turned off.
Photo Webshare security Home network users with user accounts and Photo Webshare access, must use their user name and password to logon to Webshare. Outside visitors who can create albums, add photos to an album, or download photos, must also have a user name and password. For visitors who aren’t required to have a user name and password, your server is still protected from open access because of the nature of the link (URL) provided in the email notification. For example: https://myfamily.hp.share.

How to add photos from your photos shared folder to your Webshare. Cannot access/browse server shares from the photo selector. 1 Use the photo loader, on the left hand side to browse Network Neighborhood (XP PCs) or Network (Vista PCs). 2 If your server shared folder does not show up in this list, then use the desktop shortcut to access shared folders on the server, right click on the shared folder you wish to use, and click on "map network drive".
1 Replace the {your domain name} section of the URL address with the local name of your server (the default is “hpserver”). 2 In addition to removing common network issues, this will also perform faster. Why am I getting a certificate error? If you access your HP MediaSmart server from a computer that is not being backed up by the server, you will get a warning about the server's security certificate whenever you access any of its https:// URLs.
This is expected behavior for a Webshare Visitor who has permission to add photos. The photos must be approved by a Webshare administrator before they will display in the photo album. Visitor cannot download pictures and sees a message telling them that they cannot download pictures. Visitor does not have download rights. Downloading permissions are set by the Webshare administrator. Visitor cannot add pictures and sees a message telling them that they can't add pictures. Visitor does not have add rights.
Selecting URL from address field in web browser loads “page that opens cannot be closed without closing the entire application”. Webshare Visitor or Administrator is selecting URL from address field in web browser and after login the page that opens cannot be closed without closing the entire application. Browser remembers previous credentials. Type IP into browser address field, (e.g. www.192.168.1.103) and save the login page as a Favorite. Webshare user is unable to log out of Webshare.
• Accessing the server through the URL while behind the same router has known issues. Access the server through the local name (Photo Webshare in CC) and use the URL when outside the network. • Upnp not supported by router. Enable port forwarding for ports 80, 443, and 4125 to the server's IP address. Other common troubleshooting tips In this section we will cover: How to find the server software and firmware information. on page 7-27 The first backup is taking a long time.
What are optimum data throughput speeds for different network interfaces? Depending on the network interface your computer uses, you will experience different rates of data transfer to your server. Network Interfaces are described in terms of their ideal maximum speed, but many factors can affect the actual data transfer speeds you will experience.
Song selection from the server is not updating with new additions. on page 729 Podcasts not showing in playlist. on page 7-29 iTunes aggregator does not appear to be working. • No music in iTunes library. Add music to library. Check C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Media Aggregator.txt. • Accounts may not match or guest account disabled. Fix account synchronization. Enable guest account. Song selection from the server is not updating with new additions. Server has not refreshed yet.
Cannot connect to server shares. • A duplicate device exists on the network. Verify that there is no device on the network named "server". • User names and passwords do not match. Create a user on the server whose name and password match the user on the PC.
Why do I need to set-up Webshare notifications? Webshare has a feature to send email notifications whenever items are shared with others, and the email addresses of these users is required. It is recommended that visitor accounts always use the same email as the user name, as opposed to having a different user name than the email address of a visitor (which can add confusion for visitors).
Email is not received. Verify that the correct email address was entered. Media Streaming troubleshooting tips In this section we will cover: Why my files do not show up on DMA? on page 7-32 File doesn't appear. on page 7-33 Server not showing up. on page 7-34 Media Files (audio/Video) of supported format aren't seen by device.
7 In the right pane of the Settings panel, you must now select at least one of the shared folders for sharing by selecting the On radio button. 8 Click Apply. This will automatically start WMC, which will then share all of the files in the selected shared folders. If your DMA does not display WMC from the HP MediaSmart Server, or none of your files are found by the DMA.
Server not showing up. Turn on Media-Sharing. Media Files (audio/Video) of supported format aren't seen by device. Possible naming convention issues. Double check names on server, make sure they start with a word, and not a number or symbol. Why can I play and stream DRM content my home computer but I can not stream it from my HP MediaSmart Server? The HP MediaSmart Server includes a media server for streaming iTunes music to PCs running iTunes through the house.
This will add all of the music files in your Music shared folder on the HP MediaSmart Server to your Windows Media Player library. You will then be able to play all of the protected content for which this PC has a license. What value does TZO domain names provide beyond the Microsoft Live option: • TZO provides automatic email notifications to Webshare visitors that new photos are available without having to set up an SMTP email server.
