    One of my computers is greyed out under Computers & Backup and the only options available while greyed out are 'view backups' (of which there are none) and remove computer.

    I can't figure out why that is. Is it a firewall setting, maybe? The computer in question is running Windows 7 Home premium. My Windows 7 Enterprise and XP machine are both showing up and the XP machine is backing up as expected.

    Does anyone have any ideas that might be helpful? Thank you.

    What happens, if you right click the computer? Here you should see some more options - is backup deactivated?

    On the client itself you can try to run discovery.exe from C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server to reestablish the connection. Is there any 3rd party security suite installed on the client, which may block communication through an own firewall?

    Best greetings from Germany
