Input ISP information—This includes the information
you collected from your ISP, such as the dial-up telephone
number and IP, DNS, and WINS address settings. Many
ISPs automatically or dynamically assign both IP and DNS
addresses. If your ISP 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 if your ISP uses this protocol. PPP is the default
protocol, but SLIP is supported as well.
You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your
ISP 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 connect to
your ISP. However, some ISPs assign a different name and
password for this service.
Service type—Your ISP may use POP3 or IMAP4 for
receiving mail. In addition, some ISPs use SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending messages. This is an
optional setting; refer to your ISP to find out if this applies
to your configuration.
Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service
settings. If your ISP supports MIME (Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers only),
you can select an option to allow binary files, such as
graphics and audio files, to be sent as attachments to e-
mail messages. You can also set e-mail services to:
•
Disconnect after actions are performed
•
Check for new mail at specified intervals
