Authenticating GPRS

Ask your GPRS service provider to determine the authentication
method used by your network. There are three methods available:

None—No authentication required

PAP—Password Authentication Protocol

CHAP—Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol

Setting Up a WAP Browser

Wireless application protocol (WAP) is a protocol for the way in
which wireless technology is used for Internet access. A WAP
browser can accommodate the low memory limitations of
handheld devices and the low-bandwidth limitations of a
wireless-handheld connection.

Before you can use the WAP browser, you must set it up.

1. From the Start menu, tap Settings > Connections tab >

Connections.

2. Under My Work Network, select Manage Existing

Connections > Proxy Settings tab.

3. Place a checkmark in the two boxes on the My Work

Network screen and tap Advanced.

4. Next to WAP enter Server and Port information

supplied by your Mobile Service Provider, and tap OK.

Viewing WAP Pages

Once you have set up your WAP browser, you can view WAP
pages by starting a GSM or GPRS connection and using Pocket
Internet Explorer. When you enter a Web site using Pocket
Internet Explorer, remember WAP addresses are prefixed by
“wsp” not “http” (example: wsp:\\www.xxx.com).
