IT guy at work is incompetent; can I get exchange to work by myself?

If your company allows you to connect to OWA(an outlook webmail client) then more then likely you should be able to sync with exchange. Type in just the server name part of the address that you use for webmail (https://[just_this_part]/exchange) and see if that goes through. If not try un-selecting this server uses an ssl connection and see if it goes through.

Where are you saying I type that in? If you mean in activesync|menu|configure server...
I still need the domain name.

What i was talking about before would be the server address

For Domainname:

What is the domain that you login to on your computer? Try using that for the domain name.

Do I include the .com ?

When you logon to your computer and it asks you for your password, the box below password whatever it says in there. Try that for domain name.

Thanks for that, but no go.

As one person suggested, I might want to talk to someone with a work-issued blackberry that syncs, and try and copy those settings. Unfortunately, those people are higher pay grade employees -- I'll have to be careful in talking to them - don't want to get in trouble.
