To start the connection, simply start using one of the programs listed in the preceding
section. Once connected, you can perform the same activities as listed in the
preceding section.
Connect to Work
If you have access to a network at work, you can send e-mail messages, view intranet
pages, synchronize your Toshiba 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 Toshiba Pocket PC to an optional 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 Toshiba 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 Toshiba
Pocket PC will automatically begin connecting. Once connected, you can:
