To create a wireless Ethernet connection to an ISP

1 Insert the wireless Ethernet card into your handheld. For instructions on inserting and

using the Ethernet card, see the documentation that came with the card.

2 The first time you insert the card, a notification will appear, asking you whether the

installed network card should be used to connect to The Internet or Work. Where

possible, the Service Set Identifier (SSID) will be determined automatically. Se lect The

Internet, then either accept all default settings by tapping OK (most home networks

will allow you to immediately get online without further configuration) or tap

Settings to configure the connection. Sometimes a network will require a WEP key. If

so, you will be prompted for one at this point.

3 Select the Advanced tab from the Connections Settings. Select the Network Card tab

to customize how each of your installed network card drivers connects. Highlight the

driver name of the card you wish to configure. Indicate whether My network card

connects to: The Internet. Tap on the name of the driver to receive advanced

options.

4 Configure the IP address settings in the IP Address tab.

5 Configure the DNS and WINS settings in the Name Servers tab.

You must remove then reinsert your network card for these settings to take effect.

6 Select the Network Card button from Connection Settings-Advanced to

configure your wireless networks. Networks that you have already configured are

preferred networks and are listed in the Wireless tab. You can select to connect to

only preferred networks or have your handheld search for and connect to any

available network whether it is preferred or not. Press Add New Settings... if you do

not see a network you'd like to connect to.

7In the General tab you can set the network name (also known as SSID); this is only

editable if you are creating a new wireless network profile else you are viewing a

preferred network and the SSID has already been established. Indicate whether this

network will connect you to The Internet. Finally, if this is a new network profile,

you can indicate whether this is a computer-to-computer network.

NOTE: To determine if authentication is needed, check your network administrator.

8 To view your wireless network connection after the preceding steps have been

followed, press the icon in the notification area. A green status indicator will

show how strong your signal is. Tapping Turn Wireless Off will turn off your network

card radio. Pressing the icon will then allow you to Turn Wireless on.

Once your network card has been configured, you will immediately be connected.
