Browsing the Web or your intranet with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for H/PC

You can use MS Internet Explorer for H/PC to browse the Web or your corporate intranet with your HP Jornada. Internet Explorer allows you to view Web sites directly on your HP Jornada, download forms from your corporate intranet and save them for later use, or save your favorite online news page to read later when you are offline.

After you have set up an online connection with your ISP or your network account, you are ready to dial up and start browsing the Web or your intranet. You can set Internet Explorer to automatically dial a connection you create whenever you start it.

If you have not yet created an ISP or network connection, you must set up a service provider before you can browse the Web. Use either HP dialup or Remote Networking to set up your connection. (If you choose to use Remote Networking, see the Creating connections without HP dialup section in this chapter.)

If you set up the Web service using HP dialup, you can set different Web browsing options and preferences for each connection. The options you set in HP dialup determine how the connection is made and what home and search pages are displayed.
