Connect to Work
If you have access to a network at work, you can send e-mail messages,
view intranet pages, synchronize your Pocket PC, and possibly access
the Internet. You can connect to work in one of two ways:
■ Create a modem connection by using a RAS account. Before you can
create this modem connection, your network administrator will need
to set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method you want to use,
see “To create a modem connection to a network.” Your network
administrator may also give you VPN settings.
■ Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is
the method you want to use, see “To create an Ethernet connection to
a network.”
To create a modem connection to a network:
1. Get the following information from your network administrator: dial-up
access telephone number, user name, password, domain name, and
TCP/IP settings.
2. Connect your Pocket PC to a modem, like your data capable wireless
phone.
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 “Company 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 Pocket PC with a cable,
select Hayes Compatible on COM1
.
7. You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most
servers now use a dynamically-assigned address. If the server 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 Pocket PC 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
“Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server,” later in this chapter.

Visit Internet or intranet Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet
Explorer.
