i found the question on this article:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/SBS_Small_Business_Server/Q_21992777.html,
and it pointed to 2 hot fixes (kb/913648) and (kb/891957) , but i cant get the files to perform the quick fixes, i tried to contact Microsoft using the site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935195, but haven't received anything from them, are there any other suggestions on getting these files or a most effective way to get a response from microsoft??.
i also take any suggestions on the backup error.
thanks

Before doing that though, you need to fix your DNS settings. Please disable the 1394 Net Adapter, then you need to have separate IP subnets on your NICs as shown in the example here: http://sbsurl.com/twonics
Full networking information for SBS is at http://sbsurl.com/msicw and make sure you run the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW -- which is linked as Connect to the Internet in the Server Management Console > Internet and Email) once you've set the NICs correctly.
A visual how-to is here: http://sbsurl.com/ceicw
