Data Connections

Data Connections settings enable you to set up Dial-up, Virtual Private Network (VPN), Proxy, and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connections so you can connect to the Internet or your corporate network. With a data connection, you can browse the Web, download e-mail, chat using MSN® Messenger, or synchronize wirelessly with the server. Check with your service provider to see if a data connection has already been set up for you, and if over-the-air configuration is supported.
