Router

You must configure your router to access your HP Photo Webshare from

outside the home network and to use remote access. After clicking Setup,

the server automatically tries to configure your broadband router. For more

information, see

Configuring your broadband router

in the Windows Home

Server Console Help.

Domain Name

A Domain Name is a Web address. It allows you to access your HP

MediaSmart Server and HP Photo Webshare from the Internet. For instance, if

you registered

MyFamily.hpshare.net

for your HP MediaSmart Server, you

would use this address to connect to your server using remote access.

Additionally, this address is part of the URL for accessing an album on your

Photo Webshare.
