The PC I want to sync my axim with is going to be my HTPC which I don't want to install Office on.

I just realize I would like it synced with my contacts, e-mail, task list (although mostly my media, thus the sync with the HTPC) - the problem.

I noticed I can sync directly with an exchange server via wifi (which is fine, as thats where I get my contacts, e-mail, calendar, task list, etc).

The problem is I can't get to the exchange server without first establishing a VPN with my university. This is fine on the PC - I just setup the VPN and go from there.

The problem is when I try to set up a VPN with my PPC. I put in all the settings, double checked them, and I get the following error:

VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again. If the problem continues, turn the device off and try again.

Any suggestions on what could be happening? No other VPNs are running on the network at the same time?

If I can't get VPN to work, is there a way to get it to connect (in vista) to the exchange server over my PC's connection, thus I don't have to install outlook on my PC to get access?

Thanks,
Travis
