I am trying to setup Anywhere Access on a Windows Server 2012 Essential Release Candidate, but keep getting this error:

"The domain name was not setup for your server. Wait a few minutes and run the wizard again. An unknown error occurred. Please wait a few minutes and then try again".

These are the options that I selected in the Wizard:

I want to set up a new domain name
Get a personalized domain name from Microsoft
Entered my Windows live id and password
xxxx.remotewebaccess.com

And on the next page the error is displayed.

I have setup my router (Linksys WRT160N) to forward all TCP traffic to the Server. UPnP is also enabled.

If I hit my public (dynamic) IP (http://188.182.194.182/) I get the Windows Server 2012 homepage.

Any ideas?
