What is the precise text of the error message?
I assume (as your server DNS settings are different) that you're not using DHCP to configure the IP address of the server. Have you entered the correct gateway?

Do you have a software firewall blocking the DDNS?
If the server (?) is a windows PC, test DNS lookup is working with the following in a command prompt.
nslookup bbc.co.uk.

I've never used WHS, but would not have thought you enter your WAN IP in the config. Try setting it to "automatically obtain IP addresses" to get thing's started and go forward from there.
Hopefully someone will come along, with experience of WHS, who can help you further.
Note:
You will need to port forward the relevant ports in the router to be able to remote access, also the same applies for any web servers you may wish to run.

If so you should NOT have changed any settings to do with this on your router. As far as the router is concerned you will still be on a dynamic IP but Plusnet will assign you the same IP every time.
If you have entered anything here you should remove it as that is nothing to do with what you are trying to do.

For DNS settings you should be able to leave that set to obtain automatically.

What IP address have you given your server? What subnet mask? What gateway?
If you type 'nslookup www.bbc.co.uk 8.8.8.8' do you get a response? Also try 'nslookup www.bbc.co.uk 212.159.13.49'
Once you've got basic networking going on the server you can then move on to getting port forwarding working...
