What is the address that you are using?
It sounds like they are not getting down to the correct directory on the server.
Make sure the end of the address includes “/exchange”.
example: for internal access – http://servername/exchange, or http://192.168.1.2/exchange, except using your server’s IP address. Try this on the server, or http://127.0.01/exchange
You can test your external connection using the external IP address from within the network. example http://55.55.55.55/exchange.
Hope this helps.

I agee with the last response, but would go a step further. Since by default the Exchange Virtual Directory in ISS has Integrated Windows Authentication enabled, users that are logged on to their machines or a domain other than the domain that the Exchange Server resides in, will be denied access. To correct, use uncheck Integrated Windows Authentication, and only allow Basic Authentication.

2 things come to mind are they able to ping the address of the OWA Server? The other problem sometimes is they have to make sure they are using the Domain the Mail is located on. In 2000 if it connects should give you a sign on box asking for UserID – Password and Domain. If Domain is missing under Userid you need to put Domainuserid then password. Hope this helps
