Connecting to the Internet

Your ET180 allows you to connect to your mobile ISP, and use the connection to send and receive email messages and view Web or WAP pages.

For more information on the various wireless data communication programs bundled with your device, go to "7 Wireless data programs" on page 53.

Connecting to a network

If you have access to a network at work, you can send email messages, view Intranet pages, synchronise your device, and possibly access the Internet. You can connect to a network by creating a modem connection via a RAS account.

Before you can create this modem connection, your network administrator will need to set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method you want to use, see "To create a modem connection to a network" later on this page. Your network administrator may also give you VPN settings.

To create a modem connection to a network

1Get the following information from your network administrator:

Dial-up access telephone number

User name and password

Domain name

TCP/IP settings

2If your device does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card.

3Tap and then Settings. In the Connections tab, tap the Connections icon .

4Under the Internet settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.

5In the Modem tab, tap New.

6In the Make New Connection window, enter a name for the connection.

7In the Select a modem list, select your modem type.

If your modem type does not appear, try re-inserting the modem card. If you are using an external modem that is connected to your device with a cable, select Hayes Compatible on COM1.

8You need not change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs now use a dynamically assigned address. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use a dynamically- assigned address, tap Advanced and then the TCP/IP tab, and enter the address. When finished, tap OK.
