The famous phrase that the net is the computer, is starting to be more than what a simple phrase. Windows Live, you in the net!

That is not complicated, with a quick wizard built into the interface the only command needed to have this running is:-

netsh p2p pnrp peer set machinename name="liveside" publish=start autopublish=”enable"

And that would essentially give you liveside.pnrp.net as your remote address or once live.com is operating something like liveside.whs.live.com

All you need to do on the WHS interface is pick a name, it checks the web service if the name is not already taken and if not you are good to go. Extremely simple.

Stephen, I really don't think that it's going to be as complicated as all that. The point of Windows Home Server is that it is something that you just plug into your network and it does everything else for you. I'd imagine that setting up your remote access will be fairly easy.

I think the way this will work is by using the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/p2p/pnrp.mspx">Peer Name Resolution Protocol</a> and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/p2p/wicn.mspx">Configuring a Windows Internet Computer Name</a> though instead of using the domain pnrp.net you will be able to implement this on the Windows Home Server using a the live.com domain name in some form such as mymachine.whs.live.com
