you can:

instructions, see “Connect Directly to an E-mail Server,” later in this chapter.
• Visit Internet or intranet Web pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer. You may need to set up
a proxy server to visit Internet Web pages. For more information on setting up a proxy server,
see Pocket Internet Explorer Help on the Pocket PC Terminal.
• Synchronize. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
To create an Ethernet connection to a network
You do not need to create a new connection on your Pocket PC Terminal. Instead, you must
purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible with your Pocket PC Terminal.
1. Get the following information from your network administrator: user name, password, and
domain name.
2. Insert the Ethernet card into your Pocket PC Terminal. For instructions on inserting and using
the Ethernet card, see the owner’s manual for the card.
3. The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically so that you can
configure the Ethernet card. Most networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change these
settings unless your network administrator instructs you to do so. Tap OK. (If it does not
appear or to change settings later, tap
and then Settings. On the Connections tab, tap
Network and then the adapter you want to change.)
4. Connect the Ethernet card to the network by using a network cable. For information, see your
owner’s manual.
5. If you want to synchronize your Pocket PC Terminal, tap
, and then Programs. Tap the
Connections folder, and then ActiveSync. Select Network Connection as the connection
method and then tap Connect. Remote synchronization with a desktop computer will work
only if you have set up a partnership with that computer through ActiveSync and have set
ActiveSync to allow remote connections. Other restrictions apply. For more information on
synchronizing remotely, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
6. If you want to access your e-mail server or the intranet, tap
and then Settings. On the
Connections tab, tap Network and then the Identification tab. Enter your user information. If
you need assistance, see your network administrator.
Once connected, you can do the same activities as listed in the preceding section.
End a Connection
If you started the connection from a program, such as Inbox or Pocket Internet Explorer,
disconnect from that program first. Then, tap
and then Today. Tap or at the bottom of
the screen and then Disconnect. To end a network connection, remove the card from your Pocket
PC Terminal.
