Something is requesting a WORK resource and you have an internet
connection. Check your email settings. Anything that asks for a
non-fully qualified domain name will also cause this.
machine.companyname as opposed to machine.companyname.com for example.
Also, ActiveSync requires you to switch to WORK mode and will require
you to use a VPN if you are in INTERNET mode and try to do a remote
activesync. Check and see if AS is set to automatically sync
periodically in its options.

That I don't know. It shouldn't work like that and yours is the first
I've heard of that issue.
