Username & Password Prompt over and over, for RPC/HTTP

Hello,
I've configured RPC over HTTP and OWA however when I try connecting to our exchange server through Office Outlook 2007, I continually receive the prompt for username and password. Once I provide credentials, the prompt pops back up over and over, and I never connect to the exchange server.

OWA works fine and the self certificate is accepted. Any ideas? We only have 1 remote user at this time, and that laptop is not part of the domain just FYI. "Always Prompt for Logon Credentials" is not checked under exchange account security settings.
 
When you provide the credentials, try using "username@domainname.com" for the user name. It could be that your system isn't automatically assuming a particular context for the authentication, and if that's the case, this should resolve it.

I'll try that. when logging in I am using:
domain\username
password
 
Well, you are pretty much supplying the context there, so my suggestion won't help much.

Try starting up Outlook from the Run menu, using the /rpcdiag switch like this: "outlook.exe /rpcdiag"

That will give you more details about what's happening.

Duh, I should have thought of that!
Thanks for your suggestions.
