    Works on Androids as well!

    We’ve had reports that it works well on Palm Pre as well. Basically we expect this to work fine on any mobile platform that has a modern browser, unfortunately Windows Mobile is not such a mobile platform. :(

    You mean not even Opera or Skyfire on Windows Mobile would work?

  • http://www.mediasmartserver.net Alex Kuretz

    I was speaking of built-in support, the native IE in Windows Mobile does not work well. Opera does indeed work fine, as should Skyfire though I’ve not tried it.

  • Jim

    Hi My iphone will not access the whs health page that is show on my WHS settings tab, seems to be a security certificate issue, any suggestions welcome

    • http://www.mediasmartserver.net Alex Kuretz

      Hi Pete, we can best help troubleshoot if you post in the mediasmartserver.net forums, a screenshot of what you are seeing could also be helpful. Most likely you are simply encountering the Certificate Warning which can be acknowledged, or you can reconfigure your remote access to attempt to re-generate the certificate.

    Works perfectly on my Nokia E71, using the standard S60 Web Browser. Thank you!

    Poor rating, although on PP3 no health.xml file available. Also no instructions with this add in re accessing from iphone. Not worth the effort to sort all this out, just deleted it.
