Hmm. Are you surfing from work or home? Do you have a broadband
connection? Do you need to use a proxy server for your desktop's browser
(I'm assuming Internet Explorer). If yes to the proxy server and work
portion, check that on your device that your proxy server setting is
correct. Go to Start->Settings->Connections->Connections and under My Work
Network, tap Edit my proxy server.

When you're having the "page you are looking for cannot be found" errors are
you properly connected with Activesync (as in the icon on the right side is
green not grey)?
