SBS 2003 OWA Calendar not working

I have recently set up a new SBS 2003 server behind a
firewall and have configured port forwarding to enable
access to Outlook Web Access from the Internet.

Users are able to connect and log in OK and get to their
mailbox, and the Basic version works fine. But the
premium version calendar does not work at all, we are
just getting a "View Updating" hourglass which never
times out or gives an error message.

This does not happen if we access OWA from the browser on
the server itself on a Remote Desktop Session but still
does not work if we connect via VPN to the Server
directly, rather than through port forwarding.

Either there is some problem with the firewall, I have
not enabled enough ports or there is something on the
client Machines (Windows XP Pro running Outlook 2000)
that is stopping it working.

I am really hoping that someone has a solution for this
as we were hoping to use OWA at remote sites to avoid the
complexity of setting up VPN and direct client
connections.

Any ideas appreciated.
