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

Using the Outlook web address and my domain name for authentication worked at my company.

So the server is owa.company.com
And user name is domain\username

Was playing around and it synced right up. It did erase my address book, so make sure you have a backup....just in case

I use my home Outlook for my phone's contacts and calendar. Is that the address book you lost when you synched to Exchange? I'd like to be able to use my PPC-6800 for work email, but not at the expense of losing my personal data.

Not a problem. In activesync on your ppc, you edit the menu|options and you would uncheck the "contacts" to sync with exchange, and leave the "contacts" checked for your PC settings.
