I've set up a new Server 2012 machine, and everything is going well except I can't remote web access to work.
I have the ASUS RT-AC66R router (same as the RT-AC66U).
First, automatic setup in Server 2012 Essentials fails. Doesn't surprise me as throughout the history of WHS it never worked right either
But in the past I've always been able to set the route up manually in the router, and it was fine.
I've followed the MS instructions, routing port 443 to the servers static IP address. Still doesn't work.
I know the server is capable because if I open a browser and hit it with the local NAT address of the server, remote access comes up fine.
I also tried the direct public IP of my router, bypassing DNS, in case it was a host-name problem. Did not help.
Not sure where to go from here...
