In poking arround this newsgroup, many people seem to have a certificate
problem that is exibitiing some similar behavior. However, I'm not even
getting to the point where the IE client is prompted for the cert. Just in
case, I have tried both fqdn and IP as the CN for the cert.

I've also verified that there is no IP restrictions on any of the web sites
in IIS.

The thing that really disturbs me is that I had the whole SBS install up and
running in 2 hours with RWW and OWA working perfectly. All I've done is
apply the 42 or so critical updates and all web based access stopped. One of
these updates has caused the problem and I'm not eager to wade through them
all in an attempt to find the culprit.
