They suggest quad core. My WHS2011 is on Pent(R)Dual E6700 3.2Ghz, 4GbRAM. Do you think I should be OK if no other hungry apps running?

You can get a free one at www.dyn.com if you don't have one already. After following the initial guide and setting it up on port 987 I ended up deleting my default site collection and web app, then recreating it on 80 and binding it to the other domain name. If you have content on there I think you could just extend the web application, but since I didn't have any content yet I didn't bother to test it. Check out this post for more details on how to do it. http://thuansoldier.net/?p=1323 This came in handy as where I work only allows outbound traffic on 80 and 443. The WHS web page continues to work normally. -Dan Hi Brian,

I was able to get SharePoint installed on WHS2011. The problem that I'm having how is that I can access SharePoint Central Administration site (Port 15510) from PCs on my network, but I can't access the site that I created (Port 987). I tried opening the port on my router. I'm not sure if I need to set up permissions anywhere else to make the site accessible on my LAN. I'm not sure if it's SharePoint permissions, local box permissions/firewall, reserved port, etc. Thanks for this post. I was able to get SharePoint installed on WHS2011.
