OWA to Mailbox on 2003 server

[rye8261]

I've got almost everything working with our new Exchange 2007 server. The last thing that isn't working is if a user has a mailbox on the old 2003 server, the 2007 owa isn't using a proxy or redirect to allow them to their mailbox. It just gives me a could not display page on IE. If I use firefox, it gives me an alert box saying it can't reach my server and gives the internal FQDN for the server. I have no idea where it's getting that from and why it's not working correctly.

Does anyone have the same issue or any ideas what I should do?

People on the 2007 server work fine with OWA, it's just the people still on the 2003 box that have problems.

Thank you.

Just to clarify - users with 2003 mailboxes are using /exchange, correct? /owa is for users with 2007 mailboxes.

I've yet to see this working right. Out of the box, /exchange uses Windows Authentication, and /owa uses FBA. If you set /owa to use Windows Authentication, it tends to work ok. But default settings have never worked for me (as far as redirecting 2003 users)

Yes, 2003 users will use /exchange and 2007 will use /owa that part I get. The /owa works fine for the two users on the 2007 server but for the rest of the people still on the 2003 server neither /owa nor /exchange work at all.
