Outlook Web Access to Exchange Server 2003 via SonicWall TZ 170

I am trying to get Outlook Web Access (OWA) to work in order to access mailboxes on an Exchange 2003 Server. This Server is on a small Windows 2003 network behind a SonicWall TZ 170 firewall. Internally on the network, OWA works fine by going to the address, http://servername/exchange.

Outside of the network, OWA does not work when going to the address, https://publicIPaddress/exchange, where "publicIPaddress" is a public IP address that is set as a one-to-one NAT address that points at the private IP address of the Exchange server. Also, http://publicIPaddress/exchange does not work as well.

On the SonicWall TZ 170, I have a Firewall - Access Rule for Source (*) to Destination (private address of Exchange Server for the Service HTTPS

Any thoughts as to why I can't get OWA to work?

thanks in advance,

I figured out that I was missing a Firewall Access Rule for port 80 traffic to get to the Exch server for OWA. All three posters added to me figuring out what was the issue.
