Got it resolved.....................

My new ISP had me on a private IP address. Remember the 172.?.?.? That is a private IP just liek 192.?.?.?

They switched me over to a public IP address and everything is working GREAT.

I just took a spin over there & it is working from here also

I backed up the New PC w/ WHS took: 2 hrs for 3 partitions & apx 250GB of SATA Storage drive files.

Next I restored Vista x86 to another partition, same size but a 'Logical' partition. From putting the CD in the slot & waiting for the software, drivers, etc. to load... to... finish & restart to original Vista x86 it took 1 hr, 20 min.

I had to add the new restored Vista to the boot menu w/ VBP 3.3, restarted & booted into the 'Vista x86 Test' partition (incl a 'start normally' wdo) fine. Even is activated & came to PRO & my pw & cookies are good.

No complaints w/ Windows Home Server here

Here are the Release Notes

Well I have had enough of WHS. This is the second time it has crashed in 2 years. It is just not worth it. I am going to install Server 2008 and just use it as a file manage/backup service with RAID setup properly. Enough is enough. To me WHS is a fluke.

I was just about to try in again, until I saw your post.

I tried it when it first came available, and really didn't have a big enough set of Hard drives, so not enough room. It didn't delete the old backups properly, so I kept running out of room for backups.

Like you, I prefer to use Windows Server 2008, and since I have it available to me; why not use it instead.

I got it back up and running enough to make sure i have all my files backed up.
I am downloading 2k8 now and will probably just use syntoy or soem backup program to backup what I need.
