Exchange 2003/OWA login issue, HELP!!   

Here is the setup:

Server 1 - File server with Active Directory (domain controller)
running Windows 2003 Server Standard

Server 2 - Mail server running Win 2003 Standard/Exchange 2003 (Member
Server)

Server 3 - Primavera Expedition Database server running Win 2003
Standard (Member Server)

Server 4 - Web Server for Expedition running Win 2003 Standard (Member
Server), web server set at port 89

Firewall points Port 89 to Expedition Web Server
Firewall points Port 80 to Exchange server

Here is the issue: When a user types http://owa.mydomain.com, they get
the standard login box for OWA, which makes me think all is well. The
user then supplies their username and password. When they hit Enter,
the box reappears and shows "owa.mydomain.com\username". If the user
still attempts to log in, they get the same thing 3 times.

If I have the user get rid of the "owa." and leave
"mydomain.com\username", they log in fine.

So my question is: what am I doing wrong to have the user just use
their username and password?? Since Active Directory is on Server 1,
is the Exchange server authenticating properly? Do I need to configure
something in IIS on the Exchange server????

If anyone has a solution, PLEASE HELP!!!!! Or just reply for more
information.


Thanks!
