    I am looking at a Toshiba netbook which comes with Windows 7 Starter edition. There seems to be connectivity questions about this version.

    1. Can I connect  to my Windows Home Server?

    2. Can I also connect to my Small Business Server 2003?

    3. Are there issues connecting to a domain?

    4. Can each of these connections be made wire and wireless?

    Hi,

    The Windows 7 Starter machine can access home network and join HomeGroup via Wired or Wireless.  It also can access Windows Home Server or Small Business Server 2003 machine by typing the target computer UNC path. When accessing the target machine, it need the correct credentials. However, it cannot be added to a domain or accessed in Network Place.

    For more information about Windows 7 Starter, please refer to the links below:
