Managing ISP settings
Your smartphone is already set up to
connect to the Internet using a high-speed
data connection on your wireless provider
network. To connect to the Internet, simply
start Internet Explorer Mobile.
For special situations, such as connecting
to your Internet service provider (ISP) 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:
• ISP server phone number or access
point
•
Username
•
Password
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 to edit
or create the connection.
Connecting to a VPN
If you want to use your smartphone to
access your corporate email account or
other files on your corporate server, you
may need to set up a virtual private
network (VPN). 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:
• Your company’s wireless local area
network (LAN) is outside the firewall.
• 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).
