Sounds like you only have 2 PCs. I can see how that would make it difficult to figure out what goes where. I'll give you my strategy with my WHS2011 box. It was fairly simple and met my needs at the time. I'll start with what went...

First question is where are you setting the static ip address? Router or OS? I recommend using the router settings to avoid requesting an address outside the dhcp range. Aside from that just make sure you are on the same subnet and you...

Ok that rules out a few things. Go to the cmd prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns. Try that and do a restart. Next if that doesn't work go back to the command prompt and type in netdiag /q and let us know if any test fail. You can then...

I'm not sure about how hot that chip gets but you can wrangle a 120 fan along the sides. It is a tight fit but it will work. An easier fit would be some of the thin 120mm scythe slipstreams. They will slide between the bar running from...

It comes with a regulated power supply. That big power brick is likely putting out the correct voltage but we would need a close up of what the power brick puts out. You can always measure the voltage at the unterminated end and see if...

This should actually be pretty simple. Out of the 4 wires two are going to be power (- and +). I doubt very seriously there is any sort of voltage regulation going on in the that little controller box. So you should be able to get a...
