Am I missing something?

[eddot]

Ok, so I have installed Amahi on old Acer Aspire 5720 - this drive is now recognised as a partition disk on hda/ on main laptop but screen on Server laptop does not progress beyond logon and I don't seem to be able to do anything with it. (Plain English please )

This is a headless server. How did you install Amahi? Express DVD or Full DVD and what instructions did you follow?

We need more details to assist.

BTW, to access the dashboard, you use a web browser on a client machine and navigate to http://hda or hda://x.x.x.x which is the IP address of the HDA.

OK, Understand the headless server. I installed Express DVD. Have found dashboard, discovered disk partitions (have /boot, /home and one simply / which seems to be where I managed to transfer some music (primary aim FTM) via Windows File Manager - I would like Shares to be stored on /home as this is the Main drive). Problem I have now is whenever I open an installed app from my Dashboard ie. http://owncloud8.eddot.net all I get is 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable. (Sorry, but may need bit of hand holding for a while )

If you followed the guidance (item #4) on http://docs.amahi.org, it instructs you to turn off your router DHCP/DNS server and use the HDA for those services.

Doing so will prevent those errors.

You might try want to check out the network troubleshooting page.

Make sure that your DHCP is off on your router.
