Uninstall the connector software on the affected systems and reinstall from the \\server\ path.

Just a computer restore directory. I installed the connector software from the CD that came with the server DVD, but now it wants to "update the connector software".

It happens on both computers i have connected...I have tried everything I can think of. the update 941913 does not show up as installed in add/remove programs when you click the check box show updates, and my home server says there are no available updates. The version of the connector software says it was created 7/12/08. Additionally it says to install version 6.0.1800.0 of the connector software, this is the version that I have just installed which is the version on my home server. Does anyone have any other ideas?

If the install is aborted at the network error screen using task manager, it automatically starts up the uninstaller. SOLUTION: Run Task Manager, select the applications tab and kill the WHC uninstall process. Reboot and you will see the WHS icon in system tray. Right click and you will find that you do have access to remotely manage the server. The tray icon has four clear states that I have noted - GREY: Not connected to server or server is down. RED: Network status critical - this can mean that your evaluation licence is about to expire. GREEN: Healthy network state. BLUE - Backup in progress. This work-around did the trick for me and I hope you have some success with it if you give it a go. I struggled to get WHC working for half a day.
