INTRODUCTION
An update package for Windows Home Server is available.

Additionally, this update package changes the way that home computer backup technologies handle network interruptions.

This update package includes the following improvements:
 * Windows Home Server Connector installation

This package updates the Windows Home Server Connector software and the corresponding Help files to help you identify and troubleshoot firewall software issues and incorrect proxy server settings.
 * Remote Access configuration and troubleshooting

The configuration of Windows Home Server Remote Access may fail because of different factors. This package updates the remote access configuration steps and the corresponding Help files. This improvement helps you troubleshoot issues that occur with home network routers, with firewalls, and with other broadband implementations.
 * User Account tab

This package updates the User Account tab. This improvement gives you more information when you use the Windows Home Server-related products for the first time.
 * Home computer backup technologies

Network interruptions may occur in a home network environment because of connectivity problems. This update improves the backup technologies in Windows Home Server to help you back up data when a network interruption occurs. Backup operations can continue after a network connection is restored.
