*You may need to add services from your broadband provider to use Windows Home Server's remote access features. For example, you will need certain "ports" to be open to use these features. Some broadband providers block certain ports for customers on some service plans. Also, some broadband providers' terms of service may limit or prohibit setting up and running of "servers" on their networks by some customers on some service plans. Make sure that your use of Windows Home Server features follows your broadband providers' terms of service. Please contact your broadband provider if you have questions about their terms of service.

**To connect to one of your home computers via Remote Access, your home computer needs to be properly configured and running one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (SP2)

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  • Windows XP Tablet Edition with SP2

  • Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, or Windows Vista Enterprise
