  I have an Acer netbook.  I have the restore cd on a bootable thumb drive which I have used on other boxes.  The thumb drive is fine :)
  
  When I boot my Acer it does not find the server(s)  (I have 2 online as I type).
  
  If I add drivers for home server retore on a second drive it then loads the wireless adapter, but still does not find a server.
  
  If I connect a cable directly from my acer to the HP, it still does not find a server.
  
  Has anyone done a restore to an Acer netbook?
  
  Hint....you do not have to wipe your drive to test this.  Just boot with a thumb/usb drive and see if you get to pick a backup from a server to restore.
  
  Thanks.

  Do you have your router setup as a DHCP server?

  Fair question, except if you read the part about when I connect directly to the HP box.  This excludes all router/dhcp stuff.  If you have not tried it, it works a charm.
  
  I do have the answer.........  Will post soon.....  and it is a sad story for WHS.
