Wierd Autodiscover pop up problem

I recently installed an Exchange 2010 server at this time coexistence with 2003.  It has been up and running for about 2 weeks.  Everything with my certificate is fine, including autodiscover.  I have several users who telecommute and take their laptops home.  Everything has been working fine, but for some reason starting today, when they try and access their email from home through our company's VPN, they are getting the autodiscover popup box asking for their password.  The only thing that I know that is going on is that our ISP have been working to get our DNS reverse PTR record fixed.

How can I fix this issue?

I can't get a screenshot, but I will see if I can get one tomorrow once I get to the office.  They are Windows 7 laptops, and VPN account set up through Microsoft.  The strange thing is that it is not happening to me or some others, just a few.  No I did not check Credential manager.
It might be the users having issues ISP, some ISP's have to be notified or block certain requests.  I had this issue with a provider where the ISP was blocking me from using OWA at my business from home and they had to make an acception.
we use microsoft VPN too and have had similar issues. We use local VPN credentials instead of AD and that sometimes causes the user to authenticate with a server with local credentials instead of domain ones. Only happens to some users and not for any known reason. one user has the issue often, they are on windows 8. Most users are XP/Win7.
