I've got an ASDL router at home, that is connected via ethernet to a wireless router. My wireless devices at home connect to my wireless network and get access the internet fine.

My Windows Home Server is connect to this same router via an Ethernet connection, but none of the remote features work over the internet.

If I cannot my WHS directly to the ADSL router, then it can see the internet and remote desktop, web server and all that jazz works, but the wireless devices I have on my home network can't see it.

I just don't know enough about networking to know how exactly and when a static route would do the trick or a change to the subnet.

What do I need to do in order to sort out my home network?

Wireless router
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: Leave time forever, start IP 192.168.1.100, end IP 192.168.1.200
Firewall: Disabled

Wireless router: Port forwarding set-up 192.168.1.101 TCP+UDP 80 Website
192.168.1.101 TCP+UDP 443 website (secure)
192.168.1.101 TCP+UDP 3389 Remote access

Windows Home Server
IP: 192.168.1.101

Additional information
Attain IP Protocol : Dynamic IP connect
IP Address : 192.168.1.65
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.254
Primary DNS : 8.8.8.8 (Google)
Secondary DNS : 8.8.4.4

Does the wireless router have a firewall built in?

If so then turn it off and see if you can connect, if you can turn it back on and add rules to the firewall to allow the ports you need to pass through the firewall. If you still cannot access the remote features of your WHS from outside then your problem is more advanced than my network skills sorry.

Hope it helps

Some routers have a DMZ setting, I have a NetGear and I have to set the DMZ server to the same IP address of the Home server, just ping the homeserver name from any machine to determine it.

I am not totally sure If I understand correctly, are you saying that you can not access the server remotely once connected to the wireless router?

If that is the case then I would assume that the router has some firewall rules or similar that you would need to consider for allowing traffic in to the server from outside?

Hope that helps

Please add the IP Addresses of your devices and there Gateway/ DNS Addresses to the diagram. I think you see then where your problem is ;)

Make sure it's on the same subnet. Make sure it has a valid route / default route. Make sure the firewall isn't preventing access.

I'm going to guess that you mean the Internet can't see your WHS, not that your WHS can't see the Internet (if you Remote Desktop into the WHS, can you access web pages?). If so, you need to look up Port Forwarding for your router(s) if WHS can't use uPnP to set it up automatically. If your router works with uPnP, I believe WHS will set up ports 80, 443, and 4125 to forward.

As per the guide here: Why can't my Windows Home Server see the internet?

I've disabled DHCP on the wireless router and given it a static IP address outside of the DHCP range of the ADSL router.

Now everything is happy and using the ADSL router as the DHCP server :)
