If your work allows VPN connectivity and has provided you an ID and password, you can do it. Simply go to START - SETTINGS, select the "Connections" tab at the bottom, then start the "Connections" applet. Under "Work Settings" in either the first or second drop down list, tap the "Modify" button. Tap the "VPN" tab and select "New...". Enter a name for the connection (anything you want) and then enter the VPN server name or IP address for the server you connect to at work.

If the connectivity is allowed, it should connect you up and let you access the network at your work location. On your work laptop, you must also make sure that network connectivity is enabled in ActiveSync. Check the connection options and make sure you have "network" selected in addition to USB. You can then start ActiveSync on your Axim and it should locate your laptop at the office over the network connection.

Beware of issues like "StrykerdXP" stated he had. Many locations have firewalls or other security mechanisms in place that might cause you problems.
