Network preferences

The TCP/IP software that is included in your handheld’s operating system lets you connect with remote Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers, using applications that let you view the transmitted data.

To use TCP/IP, you must first create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then define the Network preference settings. Then you connect to your ISP or dial-in server.

Network Preferences lets you set a password, telephone number, DNS number, IP address, as well as create a login script for remote connections. You can use a preset service template for your ISP or dial-in server, and edit, save, and reuse settings. Or you can create your own service template.
