Did you click it today, I changed it to the Invictus 1024 X 768 background, just watched that movie yesterday, it was pretty good.

Yep,
Looks good.
My RA is broken again, getting a HTTP 404 Not Found error, & (if I mess w/ the URL) I end-up @ the login for the router page
I guess thats my payback for shutting the machine off last night
Thinking about resetting the router again.

Reset your router
Set your Vail machine static IP even tho your running DHCP
and port forward your router to that machine.

I have 30+ GB of music files in the Music - Shared Folder on WHS Vail.
The music & videos do stream fine using the RA.
Tonight I thought I’d try downloading a page of them.
Here is how it works:
Log on remotely to the WHS & browse to the Music folder & click @ the box to select all the files on that page, then click the Download button, in the next window I chose the compressed .zip file choice.
Then chose the Save button in the next window
I got great Dl speed but sadly (@ 13 minutes time) it got stuck @ 71% 7.03GB of 10GB copied.
Being a patient guy I waited & waited & after 50 minutes I was automatically logged off the WHS, still Dl stuck @ 71%
I didn’t see in the Release Notes mentioning a 7 GB maximum download size.
You live & learn.

I checked the website pictures folder & 1 of the folders has 13 pictures in it so I tried the slide show to view them.
That worked good

The new Microsoft Security Essentials Beta (on Connect) provides Anti Virus, Spyware & etc protection for Vail now.
Tonight I signed-up & downloaded the 64-bit flavor & installed it on my copy of WHS Vail.
The install was a bit slow, probably took about 7-8 minutes (maybe because I was taking screenys all the way through?) & after a PC restart I noticed it had already updated the virus & spyware definitions so I ran a quick scan... no problems
The Real time protection is working & I left the settings alone for now.
Here are a couple of screenys.
Edit: Oh ya, my RA still works so that the MS SE didn't mess that up. I suppose next I need to try backing up one of the PC's.

A new "Preview Refresh" build has been added to the list of downloads @ connect today
There is a list of the "What changed" somewhere too.
I'm @ work atm but will snag a copy of the new build tonight.
