Connecting through a modem

To create a modem connection to an ISP:

1.Obtain the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some ISPs require information in front of the user name, such as MSN/username.

2.If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card, or use a NULL modem cable and appropriate adapters to connect to an external modem to your device through the serial port.

3.Tap , then tap 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 “ISP Connection.”

6.In the Select a Modem list, select your modem type. If your modem type does not appear in the list, try re-inserting 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 ISPs now use a dynamically-assigned address. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use a dynamically-assigned address, tap Advanced, then tap the TCP/IP tab and enter the address. When done, tap OK and 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.
