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 device, 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 If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card.
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 device 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.
