    You've got remote administration enabled on your router using SSL and the
    default port of 443. The prompt that BullDawg mentions is indeed coming
    from your router and you can verify this by examining the certificate that
    is being used for the HTTPS connection. It is a self-signed cert issued to
    www.linksys.com.

    You're going to need to do one of two things before you can access your WHS
    server from the Internet:

    1. Disable remote administration of your router.
    2. Change the port used to access the remote administration web interface
    on your router to something other than the default of 443. WHS needs 443
    and as long as your router's remote admin web site is using that port,
    you're never going to be able to connect to it from outside of your
    network.

    What are the actual symptoms? Have you set up your router to forward the correct ports to your server?

    I have to concur with Phil.  When I try to connect to your WHS, I get a user name/password popup similar to a Remote Desktop Connection.  It may be your router because it refers to Linksys WAG320N.   I would ensure UPnP is enabled on your router then run the Remote Access setup wizard from the WHS console.

    Better would be to turn off remote management of your router entirely. Some routers' remote management features are vulnerable to external attacks.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
