Changing the Network preferences

Adding detailed information to a service template

If you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably only need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you are creating a new service template, you may need to provide additional information to your ISP or dial-in server. You use the Details dialog box to add additional information to a selected service template.

To select a connection type

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the service field. 2 Tap Details.

The Details screen is displayed.

3 Tap the arrow V next to Connection type and select one of the following connection types.

•PPP: Point-to-Point protocol

•SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol

•CSLIP: Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol

Tip

If you are not sure, try PPP; if that doesn’t work, ask your Internet Service Provider or your System Administrator for the correct connection type.

4 Tap the arrow V next to Idle timeout and select one of the following options.

•1 minute: Waits one minute for you to open another application before it drops the connection.

•2 minutes: Waits two minutes.

•3 minutes: Waits three minutes.

•Never: Keeps your PPP or SLIP connection until you turn off your CLIÉ handheld (or until it times out).

Note that this option will be more costly than others.

5 Tap the Query DNS check box to deselect it.
