IIt It is possible to access the PVConnect settings from a browser but you first have to enable it. In order to access it from the PC’s on your network you have to first make changes on the Windows Home Server itself. You will need to be comfortable with Remote Desktop in order to continue.
1. Start a Remote Desktop Session to you HP Media Smart Server.
2. Login as administrator.
3. Open a web browser. If you do not see access to a browser click Start, Run and type the following:
4. Access PVConnect by typeing http://yourservername:9000. Example: http://hpserver:9000. If you are blocked by browser security it may be necessary to add this to your trusted sites as shown on the next two images.
You should be greeted with this screen. Click Twonky Media Settings on the bottom. Note this screen for future reference.
Click Network.
Now change the web access to Public Access and save changes. You are done! You can now access this page from any browser on your network. Be sure to click Start, Log off from your WHS.
But wait! Did you see the mobile browser links on that first page? Click one.
Oh yeah baby! Have fun!
Disclaimer: I have only used web access to PVConnect in order to view settings. I have not made changes and I cannot say if it has any effect or ill-effect on the WHS Add-In. I'm just recklessly publishing what I found!
