Sun vs W2K

Hi folks, Weird problem accessing OWA I'm stumped on.  Got a .mil domain
w/ a pretty normal firewall setup domain wide.  Anyhow, any W2K box
set-up W/ standard (no changes) load can get all of OWA to show except
for the actual E-mails, calendar items, and contact cards. From any
other W2K I've tried, OWA works just fine.

Now, I have a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 8.  When I try to access OWA
on it, it works fine.  

Here's the question, if it works fine on the Sun box, the firewall isn't
stopping it.  Why doesn't it work on the W2K if OWA supposedly serves-up
HTML over simple HTTP requests?

We're all stumped on this.  Any thoughts?  By the way, I'm posting here
because 1) this does have to do with *IX, and 2) The people on this list
appear a hell of a lot smarter than the monkeys on the Windows lists.
