Yes set it up for ActiveSync. Then tap Edit (modify), tap on the Proxy
Server tab and then check only the first box, this network connects to the
Internet. Tap OK, check that both are still showing work, tap ok, until you
get to the X. Then tap the X, this saves the settings. Soft reset your
device, this will load the settings you just saved. You should now be able
to sync or surf.

Hope this helps.
