Al, here are my latest observations as I have worked through each of these
suggestions. For the record I was to successfully establish a connection to
"work" per your instructions in previous posts. Everything is solid in that
regard. See below within my comments.

I can browse, send and receive and utilize MSN Messenger. I do not have an
IP address. As, I have stated my Desktop configs are set to "Obtain IP
Address Automatically"

I did do this and Activesync doesn't work still. I can browse and access
interent fine obviously without wep.
One question, if activesync is working properly it should show as connected
when I am wireless right. I don't have to manually connect to activate it
remotely correct? Obviously, when I open it up while on wifi it shows
disconected.

I downloaded this and it is asking for host. I have no numbers so not sure
what to do to ping.
