Setting Up the Remote Computer
A remote computer must also be set up correctly before you can access it from your
Palm-size PC. The following describes the required settings for each type of remote
computer.

Internet Service Provider or Corporate Network

The server must be running for a connection to be made. Systems are sometimes down
due to periodic maintenance or unforeseen problems. Your service provider or network
administrator should be able to keep you informed of regularly scheduled system
maintenance. If the telephone number is busy when you dial, wait awhile and try again.

Remote Desktop Computer

You can connect to a remote desktop computer through a modem attached to it, or
through the network to which the computer is connected. The following points apply in
either case.
• Before establishing a dial-up connection, you must first establish partnership
between your Palm-size PC and the desktop computer.
• The desktop computer must be turned on, with Schedule+, Exchange, or Outlook
running with your user profile.
• In the lower right corner of the Mobile Devices window, the connection status must
show Waiting for mobile device to connect.
•Enable Synchronization must be checked on the ActiveSync Options dialog.
