Thanks for the prompt response. However in scenario 4, our corporate
network does not use a proxy. I am also able to browse the internet
using Pocket IE while in the cradle (using pass through internet
access). Not to mention, I'm also able to successfully browse to the
http://outlook.company.com OWA server. This is same server that I can
synch with GPRS (wireless) from phone without changing any settings.
So far, the issue seems to only occur when I go to work and connect my
PC behind the firewall. Strangely also, I'm able to connect to the
outlook web mail server using it's
http://10.x.x.x address OR
http://outlook.company.com but not the server's external
http://66.x.x.x internet IP. Today, even went as far as to do a
master reset on my MPX200 and re-configure as I had nothing to lose.
Please help me - this is making me mental
