TCP/IP software

The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP software that is included in the handheld operating system. You can use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters relating to it from the Preferences application.

To use TCP/IP, you must create a configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network Preferences settings.

Note: The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define several ways that your handheld can use the modem to communicate with remote devices. For example, you can communicate with your ISP server, or with your computer if you are away on travel. See “Connection preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation on how to create modem configurations.

After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.
