[QUOTE="franzleo, post: 1431799, member: 181768"] I have 5 macs in my household not to mention 2 iPhones & 2 iPads so I decided that so as to manage the running and the software OSX Server could be worthwhile especially at such a low price . So far I have had one go at the installation and managed to stop my wifi network I have an ADSL router pugged into a Time Capsule base station which then is boosted around the apartment with firstly an Airport Extreme then three Airport Expresses , the chosen computer for the server did have wifi but the rest of the network did not. It asked for a name and password none of which seemed to work out of the ones I was aware of . I had named the system home server.local . I have read articles that mention creating static ip's which I assume I do through airport utility then I have read that creating a corporate Apple ID is needed so I have done that then I read that I could get a free SSL certificate from start com which I have done . Now I am a little confused as to which way to go I have uninstalled the server for the moment so the other users on my network can have wifi so now I could do with a little advice for the next try. I realize that it will mean I have to learn a lot but if I could get it installed and still have a wifi network running whilst I tweak by trial & error the finer points of the server that would at least be a start. Any help would be most appreciated. [/QUOTE]
