To create an Ethernet connection to a network:
1. You do not need to create a new connection on your Toshiba Pocket PC. Instead,
you must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible with your
Toshiba Pocket PC.
2. Get the following information from your network administrator: user name,
password, and domain name.
3. Insert the Ethernet card into your Toshiba Pocket PC. For instructions on inserting and
using the Ethernet card, see the owner’s manual for the card.
4. The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically so
that you can configure the Ethernet card. Most networks use DHCP, so you
should not have to change these settings unless your network administrator
instructs you to do so.
Tap OK. (If it does not appear or to change settings later, tap and then
Settings. On the Connections tab, tap Network, tap the adapter you want to
change and then tap properties.)
5. Connect the Ethernet card to the network by using a network cable. For
information, see your owner’s manual.
6. Tap , Settings, Connections tab, and then Connections. From the My

7. If you want to synchronize your Toshiba Pocket PC, tap, and then ActiveSync. In
the Tools menu, tap Options. In the PC tab, select Include PC when
synchronizing remotely and connect to, and select your computer’s name.
