Chapter 3 Connecting to your desktop PC 49

Accessing a computer not on a network

If you want to dial in to a computer that is not on a network (such as your home PC with Windows 95 and Microsoft Plus! pack), you must set up the target PC to receive your calls as follows.

•The target desktop PC must be turned on.

•The target desktop PC must have a modem installed and configured and must be set to receive incoming calls. (Refer to the instructions from the manufacturer of your desktop PC modem.)

•Dial-up Networking (Windows 95) or Remote Access Service (Windows NT) must be set up and configured so that your target PC can act as a server. (See your Win- dows documentation for further instructions.)

•Windows CE Services must be set up on the target PC (for instructions, see the Installing Windows CE Services section in this chapter). The Auto Connect option should be set to At all times.

•Windows CE Services must be running, and the Waiting for mobile device to connect status message should appear in the Mobile Devices window.

•In the Windows CE Services Properties dialog box, Device connection via network must be enabled.

•Any folders or drives you want to access must be shared.

You need the following information to establish a Remote Networking connection:

•Your Windows user name and password, if you are required to log on to your computer

•Telephone number of the modem

To create a connection to a computer not on a network (such as a home computer), you will need to create a new connection using Remote Networking on your HP Jornada.
