    I don't know if EV really checks the certificate, but it's possible that this is the problem.

    Create your own SAN certificate with your own CA (which is trusted on the client).

Hi Rob

Thanks for your comments, I don't see how the host file can work because it will be pointing to an external ip which will probably cause the connection to fail when the user returns to the LAN.

What will the affect be if I re-run the getting started wizard? will it allow me to give it a External FQDN?

I'm very disappointed that the product isn't fully functional.

TIA
Steve
