Introduction

You can set up connections to the Internet and corporate network at work to do such activities as browse the Internet or intranet, send and receive e- mail and instant messages, and synchronize information using ActiveSync.

Connections can be made using a modem, wireless network, or network (Ethernet) card. A modem connection can be used to set up connections with an external modem, or through your mobile phone network using a cellular line.

Your device has two groups of connection settings: My ISP and My Work Network. My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and My Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private network, such as a corporate network you use at work. Simply fill in the settings and get ready to start connecting. For more information, see the sections “Connect to the Internet” or “Connect to Work.”

You may also establish connection to another device with infrared (IR) or Bluetooth features. For more information, see the section “Infrared (IR) connection” later in this chapter, or “Chapter 9 Bluetooth® connection.”
