8.1 About Connections

You can set up connections to the Internet and corporate network at work in order to do activities such as browsing the Internet or intranet, sending and receiving e-mail and instant messages, and synchronizing information.

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 service network using a cellular line.

Your PPC6600 has two groups of connection settings: Sprint and My Work Network. The Sprint 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 you’ll be ready to start connecting.

8.2 Connecting to the Internet

You can use Sprint settings to connect to the Internet and use the connection to send and receive e-mail messages and view Web pages.
