WHS issues

[mc866]

Can't figure this one out, I had it working but not it won't configure because it says it can't accept website connections. The only change I've made is adding a Rosewill Gig NIC card, but nothing else has changed, I've opened all the ports 80, 443, 4125. I've installed the latest drivers for the card, I double checked that these ports were open on the firewall, I even disabled the firewall just to check. Thinking I may try it with the integrated NIC but haven't yet, not sure why that would change things. I'm stumped on what the issue is, anyone have any ideas?

Windows Live Domains appears to be going up/down based on my WHS and other posts I've seen. That may be leading to a false error for you as well.

I presume this should get fixed shortly (but it has been a few days now...)

Hmm hopefully that's all it is, I've been pulling what's left of my hair out on this one.

You can test the Windows Live Domain side with a "Ping mydomain.homeserver.com" and see if it's giving out the correct IP address.

You can test the Windows Home Server side by doing a remote access from inside your network.

If those two tests work, then it's a problem with your router or your ISP is blocking the incoming TCP Port(s).

Edit: Remembering that I don't know exactly what kinds of tests that the WHS Wizard uses for setting it up. The one problem with Wizards is that they sometimes can make life MORE complicated.
