Question : Login prompt for RWW and OWA - no login accepted

SBS2008 fresh installl,
Awaiting on SSL cert from verisign, at the min its using self assigned certs,

internally accessing https://mail.domainname.com or /owa displays the RWW and OWA screens fine, user login is accepted and everything works as it should

Externally accessing the same urls gets a Authentication Required prompt before even seeing the certificate error screen and no details entered gets accepted and after 3 attempts ends with:

401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Anon auth is only auth enabled on SBS Web applications site. Bindings all point to correct url on both 80/443.

Connect to internet and Set up your Internet Address wizards have been run.

Anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

I followed your link, but right now it does not appear as if you will successfully recover this install.

I would fix the fan first. Heat will burn your/her legs, ruin the finish on your table or desk, and cause all sorts of other problems with the motherboard and other hardware. It could easily cause your hard drive to fail prematurely. I hope that has not already started and is the cause for your current situation. Fix the fan first.

Then, install 7.
