Connect to work
If you have access to a network at work, you can send e-mail messages,
view intranet pages, synchronize your device, and possibly access the
Internet.
You can connect to work in one of these ways:
• Create a modem connection using a RAS account. Before you cna
create this modem connection, your network administrator will need to
set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method that you want to use,
see “To create a modem connection to a network.” Your network
administrator may also give you VPN settings.
• Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is
the method that you want to use, see “To create an Ethernet connection
to the network.”
Connecting through a modem
To create a modem connection to a network:
1. Obtain the following information from your network administrator: dial-
up access telephone number, user name, password, domain name,
and TCP/IP settings.
2. If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card.
3. Tap
, then tap Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Connections.
Under The Internet settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.
4. In the Modem tab, tap New.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as “Company Connection.”
6. In the Select a Modem list, select your modem type. If your modem
type does not appear in the list, try re-inserting the modem card. If you
are using an external modem that is connected to your device with a
cable, select Hayes Compatible on COM1.
7. You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs
now use a dynamically-assigned address. If the ISP you are
connecting to does not use a dynamically-assigned address, tap
Advanced, then tap the TCP/IP tab and enter the address. When
done, tap OK and Next.
8. Enter the access phone number, and tap Next.
