IP address in Network Settings
also
Activesync encountered a problem on the server.
Support Code: 0x85010001

have changed phone settings to

Use specific IP address
Enter 169.254.2.1 for IP address
Enter 255.255.0.0 for subnet

p.s. can externaly log onto company web site from pc via internet and use
outlook web access

any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Is the external IP address of the Exchange server accessible from your
desktop? I suspect that the problem is that the internal IP for Exchange is
different than the external IP and that the dns cache on the device is
preventing it from seeing the network change.
