Before you can synchronize remotely, the desktop PC or network server must be configured to allow your HP Jornada to connect. If the desktop PC uses Windows NT or Windows 2000, you must install and configure Remote Access Services. If it uses Windows 95/98/Me, install and configure Dial-Up Networking.

You must also ensure that ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. By default, ActiveSync allows a network connection; however, to confirm the setting or to enable connection if it has been disabled, follow the procedure below.

1.On the File menu, click Connection Settings.

2.Select Allow network (Ethernet) and Remote Access Service (RAS) server connection with this desktop computer.

Follow these steps to prepare your desktop PC before you leave:

•If you are using a modem on your desktop PC, turn the modem on before you leave.

•Leave your desktop PC on, and be sure you logged on under the same user name that you used when you created the partnership.

•Ensure your PIM program and e-mail program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange) are running.

If you receive an error message on your HP Jornada that states that an information type needs attention, or if unresolved items are reported after synchronization, you need to synchronize directly with your desktop PC using a serial cable, cradle, or infrared connection.

While your HP Jornada is connected to a desktop PC, you can use ActiveSync to browse the contents of your HP Jornada from your desktop PC. In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, click Explore on the File menu. The contents of your HP Jornada are displayed in the Mobile Device window.

You can also browse the contents of your HP Jornada from Windows Explorer by double-clicking the Mobile Device icon in My Computer or in the drop-down list of available drives.

While you browse, you can cut, paste, and copy files between folders on your HP Jornada or transfer files between your HP Jornada and desktop PC simply by dragging the file icons between folders.
