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 these ways:

Create a modem connection using a RAS account. Before you cna create this modem connection, your network administrator will need to set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method that 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 that you want to use, see “To create an Ethernet connection to the network.”

Connecting through a modem

To create a modem connection to a network:

1.Obtain 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 , 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 “Company 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.
