    I finally got it to say it was available then when i try to on the server and on other computers and phones they cant reach the server outside of the LAN network. In the LAN it works perfectly. But I get an error when I try to go to the domain that windows gave me or anytime i try to directly connect to the server on its ip address.

    All I can tell you is that the URL in the image you have above: https://donavin.homeserver.com, is functional and shows a Windows Home Server remote access log in page with an nVidia ad as the background. If that's your site, it's working.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Works for me.

    DNS propagation isn't instantaneous, and (if you're testing from within your home network) your router may not support loopback connections. Go somewhere else (internet cafe, library, etc.) and try.

    I used my phones internet connection and it showed up the same thing when i try to connect through the domain name and when i try through the IP address with and without port numbers. I don't know what the problem could be.

    From where I sit, the URL shown in the image above is functional. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that:

    1. Your phone has WiFi, and
    2. At some point, you've connected your phone to your home network via WiFi.

    In which case, you're using WiFi to connect to the Internet from your phone when at home. This is generally preferable, because it's faster than most cellular data networks, but it's the reason you're having problems.

    So again:

    Go somewhere else (internet cafe, library, etc.) and try.

    I disabled the WiFi on my phone when I did the test and I have tried on a friends internet connection.
