There are many variables, for example: Wireless type (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n) and encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA-2, etc) are two of the biggest. This begs a few questions: Do you know, first, the SSID of the wireless network you are trying to connect to? Also, [...]

We have set up Network Load Balancing (NLB) on two Hub Transport/Client Access servers. (Windows Server 2008/Exchange Server 2007)
I ran across this same problem a couple years ago. The problem was that the NLB appliances did not support FBA (Forms Based Authentication). I was told that without FBA, OWA would not work because, in essence, the http datastream is being split mid-conversation between the two OWA servers. It’s definitely worth investigating your NLB [...]
