*SOLVED* WHS 2011 Connector Install - Cannot connect this computer to the network - not DNS issue

I am trying to install a the connector on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. It gets to the 'enter password' section. After entering the password, I get a 'Cannot connect this computer to the network - The server is not available. Try connecting this computer again....

I viewed the log file and this is what comes up:

[5352] 120927.151139.6700: ClientSetup: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus had errors: ErrorCatalog:NetworkError ErrorCode:-1

BaseException: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Devices.Identity.MachineIdentityException: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus ---&gt System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException:

An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://media-1:65500/CertWebservice.svc. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server. ---&gt

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. ---&gt System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---&gt System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size)

This is not the OpenDns issue that most have had as it sees the server. Plus, I have added all the entries into the hosts file as well as turned off using openDns and it doesn't help.

Any ideas?
