Choose Typical or Advanced setup—Typical setup will

automate most of the connection configuration by using

default settings. Advanced setup allows you more control

over setup options. Typical and Advanced setup options

are offered at the beginning of each stage of the setup

process: Service Provider (in this case, your network

administrator), E-mail Service, and Web Service.

Input Service Provider information—This includes

information provided by your network administrator, such

as the dial-up telephone number and IP, DNS, and WINS

address settings. Many networks automatically (or, dy-

namically) assign both IP and DNS addresses. If your

network does not assign these automatically, you should

clear the Server-assigned addresses option and type the

addresses.

When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use

SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) if your network uses

this protocol. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the default

protocol for this option, but SLIP is supported as well. If

you have a SLIP account, select the Use SLIP check box

during the IP setup portion of the HP Jornada dialup

configuration process.

You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your

network administrator if these options are recommended for your account.

E-mail service
If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will

prompt you to enter the following information:

UserID and password— The user name (UserID) and

password you use to access your e-mail account may be the

same as the user name and password you use to log on to

your network. However, sometimes another name and

password are used for this service.
