Creating an ISP or Network Connection

To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an ISP, an account on your corporate network, or access permission to dial in to a specific computer.

For each account, you will need a user name and password provided by the ISP or account administrator. If you are connecting to a commercial ISP, you will also need to know the dial-up telephone number, and IP and DNS addresses (if required).

If you plan to use the account to send or receive e-mail messages directly from your hp Jornada, you must also obtain the following information from your ISP or account administrator:

•A user name and password for your e-mail account. (These may be different from the user name and password you use to connect.)

•The name of the POP3 or IMAP4 server (for incoming messages).

•The name of the SMTP server (for outgoing messages).

Before you can use a modem to connect to an ISP or to dial in to a specific desktop PC, you must create a connection for that service on your hp Jornada. If you use an NIC to connect to a corporate network, you must configure your network connection. Your hp Jornada will recognize the connection after you attach the network cable to the NIC.
