It seems that my unit has PowerPack2 pre-installed. Although windows updates are enabled, I cannot seem to get the PP3. The connector client is newer that the powerpack on the server, so the home connector doesnt work. Just a heads up for other new owners to keep an eye out for this. Colin.

Well it arrived. I'd already assumed it wasn't goign to turn up today but it came in about 6.15pm… obviously my ity Link driver's a tad more diligent.

Now — hopefully that delivery note on the box includes the docs I need to send for the hamper!

Ordered on the 8th should have been delivered yesterday (21st) but the City Link driver couldn't be bothered to stop on his way past the house (wife saw him pause and continue). Was pretty irate to see a failed delivery attempt on the tracker having waited in all day!!!

Tracker now say's out for delivery today so let's hope the driver can find his brake pedal this time.

Hello Colin, I sent a copy of my final reciept which was sent by email very shortly after my server was delivered. Regarding my query with accessing both servers I have tried reading the forums and it seems you cant access both through the connector software, so it is a matter of choosing one or the other. So it looks like unless there is updated connector software that will manage more than server I will be getting rid of my old EX470, as it will only be useful as networked storage without full functionality of the software.

John, this sounds interesting, but I would suggest hitting the forums you will most likely get more help there. I am sure you've already done that. which reciept did you post? is it the invoice one, or the original receipt dated around the 7th or so? Thanks, Colin.

Same here ordered the 7th delivered on the 21st (today). I have posted my hamper claim, I don't think there is an option to send it online as you need to enclose a copy of your reciept.

I already have a EX470 and I have set up my new server, and can access both through my network. But can anyone help me find a way to access both servers through the connector software and run a web page to outside or do I have to choose one or the other through the discovery application?
