    I am having the issue of using the domain name setup wizard. When i click next i am asked for a windows live id and a password for the account but when i put in my windows live id and password which i know is working because i had to login to it to be able to post to this forum but for some reason when i type it in and click next i get incorrect e-mail address or password.....

    it is like this: example@live.com
    password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    i get:

    Incorrect e-mail address or password

    The e-mail address or password you typed is not correct. Please type the correct e-mail address or password, and click next

    I have tryed to reset my password on the account although the passwrod i was using would log me into the web based system just fine but that did not work either....anyone else having this problem?

    OK, I've solved this, it seems that WHS uses different password rules than Windows Live (see this thread for details).

    I have exactly the same problem, I can remote desktop to the WHS and sign into Windows Live from a web browser there, but cannot sign in from the wizard, so I can't set up my domain.

    Anyone know what could be causing this?

     The only way i found to resolve this was to get a whole new windows live ID..........I tried everything before resorting to this.

    Thanks Jay,

    I tried a new Windows Live ID, that made no difference.

    The other problem I can see is that the router test never completes, it still says "testing", when I look at the details I can see that the first 4 tests passed, the last test (Remote Access connections) is still running, but it never completes (either pass, or fail).

    I have checked my port forwarding with Shields Up, it shows 80 and 443 open, 4125 closed, all other ports stealthed.
