Your service provider can provide additional information on
connecting to the Internet using GPRS.
Setting Up a WAP Browser
Wireless application protocol (WAP) delivers content in a
reduced format to fit the HP iPAQ screen. WAP protocol can
accommodate the low memory limitations of handheld devices
and the low-bandwidth limitations of a wireless-handheld
connection.
Note: This protocol requires a GPRS/EDGE connection.
Before you can use the WAP browser, you must set it up.
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings > Connections tab >
Connections.
2. Under My Work Network, select Manage Existing
Connections > Proxy Settings tab.
3. Place a checkmark in the two boxes on the My Work
Network screen and tap Advanced.
4. Next to WAP enter Server and Port information
supplied by your Mobile Service Provider, and tap OK.
Viewing WAP Pages
Once you have set up your WAP browser, you can view WAP
pages by starting a GSM or GPRS/EDGE connection and using
Pocket Internet Explorer. When you enter a Web site using
Pocket Internet Explorer, remember WAP addresses are prefixed
by “wsp” not “http” (example: wsp://www.xxx.com).
