Synching problems

I use a Mac at home but a PC at work. We are on an Exchange server at
work and use Outlook for mail. In order to synch my iPod addresses &
contacts I synch my Outlook to my Entourage, Entourage to my icontacts
and icalendar and then to my iPod (iTouch). When I bring the Mac to
work and use an ethernet connection I can synch easily. If at work I
use the wireless connection I have to log in to the VPN with my Mac in
order to synch. However at home I get no connection to the Exchange
server in Entourage whether I'm hard wired via a cable modem or on my
wireless network, even if I log in to the VPN.
Does anyone know what might NOT be happening, that causes this?

When you connect through VPN, can you open the OWA web page in your
WebBrowser?? Is the address there the same as the one used by Entourage
for your Excahnge server??

It is possible that the adress for the server is differnet when you are
connected locally and from the outside (you don;t use the same DNS and
you don't have a local IP))

Thanks! I actually worked it out from your advice and a note that was
in the Exchange properties. I changed the address of the server from
jsut the name to the address for OWA/exchange.

Thanks!
