You must first synch via USB to set up a partnership; after this initial
synch you can thereafter synch wirelessly.

to set up a vpn connection to my work computer.

Actually this did the trick too...

In Connections... Connect to Internet using [Work Settings] ...connect to a
private network should connect using [Work Settings]... Assuming that Work
Settings are completely empty... else, Create a new Setting called Wireless
and use this blank setting for both Internet and Work connections.

When the AP is detected choose Connect to Internet...

Now you can Surf and ActiveSync too... even at the same time...

For grins, go to Settings, Connections tab, Connections, Advanced tab,
bottom button (Select what your network card connects to [Network Card]. On
the drop down on the Configure Network Adapters page you should be on now,
try selecting 'Work', and see what happens.
