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 and then Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Connections.
Under The Internet settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.
4 In the Modem tab, tap New.
5 Enter a name for the connection, such as “ISP Connection.”
6 In the Select a modem list, select your modem type. If your modem
type does not appear, try reinserting the modem card. If you are using
an external modem that is connected to your device with a cable,
select Hayes Compatible on COM1.
7 You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs
now use a dynamically-assigned address. If the ISP you are
connecting to does not use a dynamically-assigned address, tap
Advanced
and then the TCP/IP tab, and enter the address. When
finished, tap OK and then Next.
8 Enter the access phone number, and tap Next.
9 Select other desired options, and tap Finish.
10 In the Dialing Locations tab, specify your current location and phone
type (most phone lines are tone). These settings will apply to all
connections you create.
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.
