Thanks for any help.

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
    Internet connectivity has been lost.
    The website is temporarily unavailable.
    The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
    The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
    If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

I can do an MSTSC to the server from my client m/c using either server name or ipaddress.

Status: offline 		I don't have server 2008 in front of me now, so I can't easily describe where everything is.  I do remember that right-click doesn't work any more, though.  Everything's in the Features view.

Anonymous is fine for the Default Web Site, but not for the OWA folder.  The ports sound right.  It would help if you could find the host header property, though.  It should be empty, otherwise the server will only respond to one name (except when you use https, because host headers don't work with https).
