Installing the network interface card

Before you can connect directly to a network, you must install an NIC and properly configure it with the IP address of your DNS and WINS servers (check with your network administrator for this information).

You must use an NIC to connect your HP Jornada di- rectly to a LAN. NICs are available from several manu- facturers as PC Card accessories. (For a list of recom- mended PCÊCard NICs, go to the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.) Install the PC Card NIC in the PCÊCard slot on your HP Jornada, and then attach the network cable according to the instructions provided by your card manufacturer.

In addition to the PC Card NIC, you will need to install the appropriate driver software to configure the NIC. Drivers for Proxim 7400 and Socket LP-E LAN cards are included on the HP Jornada. Drivers for other cards must be obtained from the card manufacturer. Install software drivers as you would any other third-party program. (For more informa- tion, see the Installing programs section in chapterÊ7.)
