OWA, repeatedly asking user to enter username and password

I am having troubles with OWA from my network.

If I trying logging in from a basic Internet conenction, I can connect to OWA without issues, however when logging on from my company's network, I am prompted for a username and password repeatedly.

I am behind an ISA 2004 firewall, and have an exception for the address of the OWA server for HTTP (port 80).

Does anyone know if there is any special way to allow OWA access thru ISA 2004?

I have tried that, but the results have been the same.

I am able to log in without a worry from a standard connection to the Internet, but when on my network is when I have the trouble.

OWA doesn't usually use port 80, it uses 443.

The way in which this remote exchange server has been setup is to use port 80 - the address fro the server is http://mailserver.domain.com not https://mailserver.domain.com
Overview of OWA security is here:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830827

OWA uses SSL.  Otherwise you need to configure OWA for Forms Based Authentication without SSL which is less secure:

Since Anonymous access allow everyone to access your server, you want to do instead is make sure Integrated authentication check. This will allow IIS to use network authentication when on a local LAN.
