WHS public web page

Ray · Feb 07, 2009, 14:08:45

I've just set up the public home page on my Windows Home Server here, I would be grateful if a few people could try to reach the page and check out the links on it to confirm that it is accessible from the web and everything works as it should.

Sebby · Feb 07, 2009, 14:13:52

The link doesn't show up as I'm accessing through my phone, but someone else will be able to check.

Glenn · Feb 07, 2009, 14:25:23

The picture of the 2 dogs takes a little while to load, the IDNetters link is not working

the 's' is missing

but otherwise it all works

Ray · Feb 07, 2009, 14:28:02

Thanks, Glenn, I've added the 's' it should work now.

Glenn · Feb 07, 2009, 14:29:40

Yep works now

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 14:31:29

All OK here, Ray, but sluggish - though that could be my connection.

Steve · Feb 07, 2009, 14:36:32

I think the sluggishness must have something to do with constraints of Ray's upload bandwidth, not managed to log on yet I presume you can hide that if you don't require remote web access.

I think you're probably right, Steve I did notice when I did a speed test a little while ago my upload speed was only around 270kbps it's normally 370kbps or thereabouts. Yes you can hide the logon button by editing the css for the page, I've still got to do that.

Edit: shouldn't be visible now.

zappaDPJ · Feb 07, 2009, 14:49:58

It's a bit sluggish from my connection as well but that could be my connection. Other than that it's working fine although I can't find the dancing girls download folder

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 14:51:40

I can still see the logon button, Ray.

I can't, Rik, have you tried refreshing the page?

It was there for me when I made my first post a couple of minutes ago but it's gone now.

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 14:58:05

OK, gone now.

Its no different than mine was when I tried it, As I understand it

most web sites we visit just download the information whereas with the WHS the download comes out of the upstream bandwidth I presume with the routing via idnet and homeserver.com?

Ray · Feb 07, 2009, 15:13:56

That sounds about right, Steve, it's got to be limited by your upstream bandwidth.

Lona · Feb 07, 2009, 15:15:49

Lovely website Ray, but a bit sluggish to load pages.

Sebby · Feb 07, 2009, 18:30:52

It was a little sluggish for me, but nothing major. I guess that's the way it's going to be as it's hosted off of a residential broadband connection.

Simon · Feb 08, 2009, 00:55:18

I can't get it at all at the moment. 'Connection Interrupted' message.

Sorry, Simon, forgot to mention in my original post the server is only on line from 06:00 to 23:00.

Lance · Feb 08, 2009, 10:36:36

That'll be why i couldn't get it either. I guessed the server was off for the night!

talos · Feb 08, 2009, 10:46:34

Loads ok for me

just a bit slow

Lance · Feb 08, 2009, 12:16:44

You'll have to pay out for supermax, Ray, to get the higher upload bandwidth!

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 12:17:58

Still on the same commission, Lance.

Lance · Feb 08, 2009, 12:18:47

You bet!

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 12:24:55

What with that and selling Steve a second WHS box, I feel you've spent too much time around me.

You're having a bad influence on your fellow Admin staff, Rik, I suppose you're getting Glenn trained in your spending ways now.

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 12:40:15

It's part of the induction course, Ray.

Glenn · Feb 08, 2009, 12:41:21

I've already brought a new desk

Glad to see he's still on the ball, got a sore arm, Glenn.

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 12:47:10

And a big notebook.

Glenn · Feb 08, 2009, 12:48:48

A very thin wallet

Ted · Feb 08, 2009, 12:49:40

Nice work Ray, all looking good here, everything loads pretty quickly for me

Small bug in the guest book page, if you click the "home" button, it returns an "address not found" error.

Ray · Feb 08, 2009, 13:03:35

Thanks, Ted, I hadn't spotted that, should be alright now.

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 13:06:20

McAfee is going amber on the guest book, Ray.

Yes, Rik, I don't know why they should rate it amber, I've been using the Bravenet Guest book for about 4 years and I've never seen any problems with it or the Bravenet web site. The only emails I receive from them are my monthly visitor statistics.

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 14:12:10

Did you look at the McAfee site, Ray, it lists the reason but I can't remember what it said.

Yes I did, Rik, reading the McAfee site report they seem to be basing it on their user reviews of people complaining about spam and phishing but I've never received any spam/phishing attempts or had anything undesirable via the site.

I think they get it wrong sometimes

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 14:44:11

I'm sure they do.

Yup! all sorted
