It would be nice if it uninstalled and reinstalled the new in one step. Don't know how possible this is, but it would probably involve stopping the SC server - likely too much work right now.
b- IIRC, there is a setting in some preferences file for how often it looks for a new version and downloads it. I think it's 12 hours by default. So it won't even look for another build for 12 hours after you've installed the last one. c - I found it worked best for me to reserve a fixed IP for my WHS (and thus for any process running on it). If you are using DHCP from your router, you probably can reserve the current IP for your WHS. This gives you the same result (at least internally) as having a static IP. Most of my connection issues went away once I did this. -- gcurrie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63055 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
