Windows Home Server with Power Pack 3 (2009) on HP MediaSmart Server EX495
When I enable remote access (it used to work; all settings in my Wi-Fi Router are still there and correct) on my HomeServer, I get an error when I Turn On Remote Access (website not available locally; a local web server or firewall issue may have occured. Please contact support). If I go on and try to login to Windows Live Custom Domains, I get the unknown error (0x80072f7d) 80072f7d.
EVEN FURTHER, from then on out MY WHOLE LAN GETS MESSED UP!!
For example,
http://www.nu.nl sometimes redirects to
http://www.nu.nl/HPHome . Sometimes Google will still work, sometimes even that goes down. But for most web sites I try to reach, I will get a classic IIS 404 page not found. When using Chrome...!! So somewhere, somehow all my web traffic redirects to HP Home server and 'crashes' my LAN (not even 192.168.1.1 works anymore). There's no reason for it and I can't figure it out. The only thing that is certain is that my LAN will get messed up and can't properly reach the www any longer. I suspect that mostly traffic using DNS resolving suffers from this.
Disable Remote Access and all LAN traffic starts working again (same when I power off my home server).
I'm also going to check & contact Sitecom, for I recently had a firmware upgrade that might(!) be causing it. I have repaired windows home server now 5 times, the last time even with a brand new system disk but... Nothing :/
UPDATE: I downgraded my firmware, but the problems remain : -( Still, I'll await Sitecom Support's answer too...
Last remark... While my client has no problem installing Home Server Connector Software (after manually copying it to my client pc!!), when I try to install WHSConnectorInstall.exe on WHS itself, all I get is "Home Server not found"...
Any insights? Anyone?
Thanks and...
Peace!

PS: HP Home has static IP address, based on MAC address. Nothing has changed in my LAN setup, except a firmware upgrade on my router and a repaired Home Server (see my other posts ;p). I'm using RDP to my home server and I am starting the Home Server Console there.
