I plan to continue the series but before I get started I wanted to share the fact that Microsoft has greatly lowered the price of this great software! It can be had for as little as<br \/>\n$59.99 at NewEgg. This is a very worthwhile investment for anyone with two, or more, PC\u2019s in their home, who wants to stream media to multiple computers or TV\u2019s in their home, or who wants simple and effective automated computer backups. In my opinion the backup feature alone is worth the price of admission! You will need a PC, but it doesn\u2019t have to be anything fancy. Any old unused PC with a 64-bit 2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, and at least 160GB hard drive can have you up and running in short order \u2013 you don\u2019t even really need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse! If you don\u2019t have one lyiing around it should\u2019t be hard to find an unused PC from a friend or family member that meets the minumum requirements \u2013 it doesn\u2019t have to look pretty. If you are feeling adventurous you can build one for next to nothing.<\/p>\n<h3>Installing the Windows Home Server Connector Software<\/h3>\n<p>The Connector is a small piece of software that installs on the clients (the computers you use in your home) that communicates, or \u201cconnects\u201d, with the server. The connector software also allows easy access to the shared folders on the server, remote web access, manual backup initiation, and the Dashboard (where the server is managed). The Connector is required to be installed on any computer in the home that you wish to backup on the home server.<\/p>\n<h3>Connecting to the server<\/h3>\n<p>The Connector software is located on the server itself so you will never have to remember where you left \u201cthat\u201d CD or what website the installer was on. Simply open a browser on each client computer and navigate to the software location. In the example below I\u2019ve entered http:\/\/ followed by the IP address of the server and \/connect\/. You can also use the server name you chose during installation. As an example; if your server IP address is 192.168.0.100 the address would be http:\/\/192.168.0.100\/connect\/ or you could use the server name (testserver in this example) and type http:\/\/testserver\/connect\/ into the address bar. Press the Enter key and you\u2019ll be greated with the following page.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110817install_whs_connector-1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110817install_whs_connector-1-300x214.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"install_whs_connector-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-23710\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"ALL\"><\/p>\n<p>Click the Download software for Windows button on your Windows computers or the Download software for Mac link for Mac users and you\u2019ll be asked whether you would like to Run, Save, or Cancel the download.
