Getting Connected 95
When you open Messaging, Pocket Internet Explorer, or MSN Messenger,
your device automatically connects. Once you are connected, you can:
• Send and receive e-mail messages using Messaging. Before you can use
Messaging, you need to provide the information Messaging needs to
communicate with the e-mail server. See "Connecting Directly to an
E-Mail Server" on page 97 for more information.
• See Web and WAP pages using Pocket Internet Explorer. For more
information, see "Using Microsoft
®
Pocket Internet Explorer" on
page 85.
• Send and receive instant messages with MSN Messenger. For more
information, see "MSN Messenger" on page 81.
Creating an Ethernet Connection
1 Contact your network administrator to obtain a user name, password,
and domain name.
2 Install the network card driver, if required. For more information,
see the documentation that came with your network card.
3 The Network Settings window appears automatically the first time you
insert the network card so that you can configure the network card. To
change settings later, tap the Start button
→ Settings → Connections
tab
→
Connections.
4 If you need to enter specific server information, tap the appropriate
adapter, and then tap Properties. You may need to enter proxy server
and VPN connection settings. For more information, see your
network administrator.
NOTE:
Most networks use DHCP, so you do not need to change the
connection settings unless your network administrator instructs you
to do so.
5 If necessary, connect the network card to the network by using a
network cable. For more information, see the documentation that
came with your network card.
