To create a modem connection to an ISP:
1. Obtain the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access
telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some
ISPs require information in front of the user name, such as
MSN/username.
2. If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card,
or use or use a NULL modem cable and appropriate adaptors to
connect an external modem to your device through the serial port.
3. Tap > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
4. In My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection, and follow the
instructions in the New Connection wizard.
To change modem connection settings, in either My ISP or My Work
Network
, tap Manage existing connections. Select the desired modem
connection, tap Edit, and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as your ISP's name.
6. In the Select a modem list, select your modem type. If you are using
any type of external modem, in the Select a modem list, select the
modem by name. If a listing does not exist for your external modem,
tap Hayes Compatible on COM1.
7. Enter the phone number exactly as you want it dialed. If you know
part of the phone number will change frequently as you travel, use
dialing rules
to avoid creating numerous modem connections for the
same phone number.
8. Enter your user name, password, and domain name as provided by
your ISP. If a domain name was not provided, try the connection
without entering a domain name.
9. You should not need to change any advanced settings. Instances
where you will want to change advanced settings include:
You want to change baud rate settings, dialing string commands,
or credit card options.
You need to change port settings.
The server you are connecting to does not use dynamically-
assigned addresses, and you need to enter your TCP/IP settings.
10. To change advanced settings, tap Advanced. Otherwise, tap Finish.
To start the connection, simply start using one of the following programs.
Your device will automatically begin connecting. Once connected, you
can:
Send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox. Before you can
use Inbox, you need to provide the information it needs to
communicate with the e-mail server. For specific instructions, see
“Connect Directly to an E-mail Server,” later in this chapter.
Visit Web and WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer. For more
information, see Chapter 6.
Send and receive instant messages with MSN Messenger. For more
information, see “MSN Messenger” in Chapter 5.
