Mac Outlook 2011 to exchange 2007

I have been at this all day and I am at a loss.  We just installed a new SBS 2008 server.  There is one mac on the network.  We update Mac office to 2011.  However the issue is that I can not connect outlook 2011 to exchange.  Most of the time during setup autodiscover fails so I have to enter in the server name.  Then it tells me my login credentials are wrong.  However these creditials worked setting up an iphone.

Any ideas?

Use Outlook Web Access address as the server address?

Example:  https://yourdomain.com/owa

i did that.  it does not kick back any errors as to why it does not connect, but it does not connect.  If i try to send a message I get a 17997 error
A good few people have had this issue; someone else has managed to resolve by editing setting below;

Tick Override default port in the Outlook 2011 settings and changed the port to 442

Yea, I have seen there are lots of issues with this.  I tried the port suggestion.  Still no dice.
Seems to be a lot on changing the default ports... Have you tried updating the software, there may be a patch?

Ok WebDev is defiantly not set up on my server.  However I am having a hard time following the instructons on how to set it up.  My screen does not hat the links everyone is mentioning.

Well I figured that out, apparently I am blind.  I got the connection to work for about an hour. Then outlooks data file crashed. Outlooks data utility freezes each time i try to fix it. Now when I open outlook I can not reconnect to the server.
