4.Check the telephone number, and then tap Dial. A progress message appears to tell you when you are connected to your ISP or network.

5.After you connect to your ISP or network account, you may use Pocket Internet Explorer to browse.

If you did not use the HP Jornada dialup application to create your connection, you will need to activate the connection you want in Remote Networking. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Communication, and then tap Remote Networking. In the Remote Networking folder, double-tap the icon of the connection you want. Tap Connect to begin dialing.

Although it includes most of the features of the Internet Explorer Web browser, Pocket Internet Explorer has been streamlined to work efficiently on the compact HP Jornada. Animations are not displayed on your HP Jornada. Animated graphics may appear as a single still frame, or may not appear at all. You may also have difficulty viewing Web pages that require ActiveX controls or plug-ins. For more information about using Pocket Internet Explorer, refer to online Help.

Retrieving your CompuServe mail

If you are a member of CompuServe, you can use Inbox to receive your CompuServe e-mail on your HP Jornada. To do this, you will need to:

•Use the Web browser and Internet account on your desktop PC (partner) to go to the CompuServe Web site at www.csi.com/communications.

•Follow the instructions that are provided at that site for creating a POP3 mailbox. Be sure to choose a mailbox password that your HP Jornada can support; that is, use only letters and numbers in your password.

•Create a connection with HP dialup on your HP Jornada. You will have all the account information you need when you finish creating your POP3 mailbox at the CompuServe site.

•Set up (and name) the Inbox mail service connection. See the Using Inbox section in this chapter.

After you have completed these initial setup procedures, you will be able to send and receive your CompuServe e-mail just as you would with any other Internet e-mail account.

If you have an account with another online service, check with the service provider to see if the service supports access via Windows CE.
