If you mean Remote Access from the Internet, you need a compatible version of Windows 7. Windows 7 Home Premium does not support Remote Desktop (RDP) *hosting* (not an RDP server). i.e. you can use Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to an RDP host, but you cannot be an RDP host. Windows Home Server (WHS) only acts as an agent to route you to your home RDP hosts from the internet. It does not install software to enable Home Premium as a RDP server. This is a limitation of Windows 7 Home Premium. If you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, WHS will allow you to connect to the computers from the Internet. Note – you need to have the proper ports open on your router for this to work. WHS can configure some routers automatically, but not ones that don't support pnp. These are all factors that exist with WHS in XP and Vista. You can search and find lots of info on them. There may even be info out there on how to make Home Premium act as an RDP server and support concurrent connections ;)

Windows 7 is not compatible.It does not allow remote access.
I waited to buy a W7 computer only to find out that I can't access my server remotely. This is kind of a joke.
