     Help!  I can't successfully complete the WHS install.  I get through much of the install and then run into the error "Unable to connect to your home server".  I've followed as much of the trouble-shooting as I can, but haven't made progress.

    When I run the advanced trouble-shooter toolkit, I pass all 5 network connectivity tests, but run into problems on the Server Discovery tests.  I get the following log message.

    [3]081230.150030.8906: Network: Test Locate Server by UPnP protocol begin.
    [8]081230.150030.8906: Network: Discovering server using UPnP protocol ...
    [8]081230.150040.8906: Network: Succeed. 1 Servers are found.
    [8]081230.150040.8906: Network: Server name HPSERVER, IP 192.168.1.111

    [3]081230.150040.8906: Network: Test Locate Server by UPnP protocol end.
    [3]081230.150040.8906: Network: Information for test Locate Server by UPnP protocol:

    I'm guessing it is a firewall config problem, but not sure.  I'm running XP SP2.  Windows firewall is disabled.  I'm running CA Personal Firewall using the lowest protection level within the Safe Zone.  I have a Linksys WRT350N router.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Martin - thanks for the help.  I was able to get everything installed.  I disabled the firewall during installation, but the root cause ended up being adding the fully qualified server IP in the host file.  I contacted HP WHS support and they were extremely knowledgable and helpful.

    Why don't you disable the CA firewall for a test?

    Most often personal firewalls only create more problems...

    Martin - thanks for the suggestion.  I have tried that before, but tried it again just to be sure.  No change.  :-(

    Brian,

    can you connect other client machines?

    Regards

    Brian, I'm going to suggest you completely uninstall your third party firewall, then see what happens when you try to install the connector.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
