Robin,

I'm sometimes fuzzy on Windows issues but it strikes me that all that
client access can do is make the URL available to your personal
computer.  It sounds as though client access has done this successfully.
Clicking on the URL throws you entirely under the control of Windows and
CA is out of the picture.

I'm certainly willing to be contradicted on this, but it makes sense to
me to look in the Microsoft arena for resolution.
