If you are typing the fqdn from internal you will get the error you are
getting. you can get to mail using http://server/exchange or edit the host
file using notepad in system32/drivers/ect and add your internal ip address
mapping to your fqdn then you can use http://FQDN/exchange.
Hope that helped.
