    Scenario: I have two clients plus my 2011RC Server. On the Server Home Page (after logging in), the Connect To Computers box shows my Server plus one of my Clients twice rather than showing the Server plus both Clients. If I go to the Show More Computers page, all 3 machines show up. Is this normal/expected behavoiur?

    This does not sound correct.

    I can't offer any suggestions as to why one machine is showing twice on the connect to computers web page.

    Are any of your machines Home Premium rather than Professional or higher?

    As remote connections cannot be made to a standard Home Premium install, it is probably reasonable that they do not show in the connect web page. I am unable to test this as I have replaced my only Home premium install with a Pro version.

    Spot on. XP Pro and W7 Home Premium. I guess I will need to connect my W7 Pro machine to confirm.
