Are you perhaps specifying a proxy server in the user's Internet Explorer
settings?

We are currently running a single domain controller with exchange 2003 and
sharepoint v2 both installed. We have a VPN setup. When PCs/laptops are
here
in the office they can access both OWA/Sharepoint without any trouble.
When a
domain PC is external to the local network (i.e. a site office) users
CANNOT
access OWA/Sharepoint sites through the std internet connection. However
if i
connect those same PCs/Users to the VPN they CAN access OWA/Sharepoint
while
they are connected, as soon as they disconnect from the VPN they lose the
ability to browse to OWA/Sharepoint they just get the std "page cannot be
found" error in IE. Now whats weird is if i either disjoin the pc from the
domain AND/OR just login as the local admin i CAN browse to OWA/Sharepoint
(also my personal PC at home which isnt a domain PC can always browse to
our
sharepoint/owa site).

So basically if you are a domain user and are not in the office or
connected to the VPN you CANNOT access OWA/Sharepoint, it doesnt even come
up
and ask for credentials it just says "page cannot be found". If you are
NOT a
domain user you CAN access OWA/Sharepoint thru the internet without VPN
connection.

I'm pretty sure the router, external DNS, etc is correct or else the
non-domain users wouldnt be able to access the sites. This must be
something
to do with domain config. HELP!!!

How can i fix this?
