After upgrading our Exchange 2003 Server to SP1, OWA can not be accessed from the WAN(mail.xxxx.com\exchange), but works fine from the local LAN (<servername>.xxxx.crp\exchange).

Current setup: Exchange 2003 SP1 (Windows 2003), OWA with SSL

The error: The login screen comes up fine. I login as usual (domain\username and then password). Then the web page displays the login screen again, but there is a login screen in each of the two frames you normally get with a successful login.

IIS logs show the following:

2004-06-25 18:01:03 xxx.xxx.x.23 GET /exchange - 443 <domain>\<username> xx.xxx.xx.164 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 302 0 0

Nothing else has been changed on the network except for the Exchange SP install. If you have any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
