Managing ISP Settings
Your Treo is already set up to connect to the Internet using a high-speed data connection on
the Sprint network. To connect to the Internet, simply start Internet Explorer
® Mobile.
For special situations, such as connecting to your ISP (Internet service provider) or a remote
access server (RAS), you can set up another connection. Before you begin, obtain the
following information from your ISP or system administrator:
1. Press Start and select Settings.
2. Select the Connections tab, and then select Connections .
3. On the Tasks tab, select Manage existing connections.
4. Select the Modem tab.
5. Highlight the connection you want to view or change, and then select Edit, or to create a
new connection, select New.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions for editing or creating the connection.
Connecting to a VPN
If you want to use your Treo to access your corporate email account or other files on your
corporate server, you may need to set up a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN enables you
to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer).
You need to set up a VPN to access a corporate server in either of the following situations:
ⅷ Your company’s wireless local area network (LAN) is outside the firewall.
ⅷ Your company’s wireless LAN is inside the firewall, but you are accessing the network
from outside the firewall (for example, from a public location or at home).
