OWA SBS 2003 Not working internally or externally

Hi all
I am having major problems getting access to OWA either internally or exteranally. when I fire up IE and goto http://myservername/exchange I get a msg similar to to when I you lose net connection this page cannot be displayed
I get the same msg externally when I goto http://myipaddress/exchange
I need to gain access both internally and externally if it is any issue we currently host the mail somewhere else and use a POP3 connector to pull it in.
Thank you
Philip Meason

Okay Thanks for that I now have internal OWA working again but still no External I am getting a 403 forbidden IP address has been rejected. Which is where I was when I broke internal ;0) If you have any further tips on external then I would be happy to hear them but so as not to be completely lazy I did see this problem cropping up in my searches yesterday so in the mean time I'll see if there is an answer out there in EE that will work for me.
Thank you again

As an aside note it was the second part of the answer that got things running again - just in case anyone was wondering.
Regarding the first part of the answer I looked up the exchange path which is set to premierconsultancy.com are internal domain is PMC.local
The reason for this is, I believe, we are using a pop3 connector to pull our mail from a hosted mail box outside of the domain. Will this effect how OWA works? Will it make any difference to how we log on?
Thanks again

One Final note to anyone else who maybe looking to remedy this type of problem I have just installed SP1 for exchange 2003 and I can now OWA for Users and administrator externally. Hopefully the problems are sorted, if not I am sure I'll be posting again. Peace
