I never got a successful port test on 3389, but WHS did say it was "Available", so I did move forward and setup a DNS Name, but I'm not able to access the new DNS name.

When I try to hit my home server page, I get a message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  See attached for results when I run IE diagnostics.

Not sure if this is now a firewall issue?  Do I need to open some DNS port???  Not sure what I'm even talking about, any more...

That might because your router may not support reverse nat.

Which if that is the case then when home you will connect to your server by the local IP. When outside your home you will use your internet IP or your DNS name :wink:

Good to hear :cheesy:

Since your all fixed I will lock this thread.

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I help with anything computer or network related :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
And a facebook like at the top of the page of my site is nice as well. ;)
