I am pretty sure that this has been asked to death, but I really need an
answer before I leave tomorrow midday.

I have a Jasjar running WM5, office is Exchange 2003, synching on Exchange
directly rather than my PC. In the office, everything works perfective, I
can sync either from the USB cable or via office Wifi.

I CANNOT SYNC OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, this is driving me insane!!! What do I
need to do? Do I need to setup a VPN (I am failing this also), can I not
sync directly? My exchange server name in Outlook is
"pxvnserver1.PXVN.local" and this is what I use in Activesync.

We are a small company and you are talking to the IT guy himself. Any
assistance greatly appreciated.

you need to change the Exchange server name on your device to your Exchange
server's "external" name if it's on the internet. If your Exchange server is
only visible on the intranet, you do need to have VPN.

Thanks. I cannot seem to get WM5 to bypass / OK the SSL certifcate request
which I get when I access my server from the outside. Even when I enable
SSL connection, it does not get me anywhere.

I also tried setting up the VPN on WM5. Yet again it does not seem to work.
In fact, it connects and shows me a left + right arrow crowned by a G box,
which I understand to mean "connected via GPRS". Unfortunately, even though
I am connected to the internet, I am not via VPN as I cannot access
anything. My choices are PPTP, username / password (tried with and without
domain), dynamic IP, fixed DNS.

I therefore stuck on both.
