Outlook Anywhere Access Problem

Question

Background:  Company has installed Exchange and Sharepoint on same server.

Needs:  I need remote access/sync from Outlook to Exchange Server for e-mail without VPN access.

Status: I was told Outlook Anywhere will not work.  Quote from IT Department "Because of the way the server was set up initially there is no way to do the remote outlook.  We put SharePoint on the same server as Exchange.  Sharepoint uses the default domain address to run.  2007 Outlook allowed for remote access using the default domain address but we are already using it."

Interestingly, I have successfully added access to the Exchange Server on my iPhone using HTTPS.

Questions: This was a very simple set-up on iPhone.  Why can't I get the same functionality on my laptop?  How can I make Outook Anywhere work (server config, client config)?
