6 Getting Connected
To take full advantage of your Pocket PC, you will want to get connected. This
chapter tells you how you can get your Pocket PC connected through a variety
of ways including modem, network card, infrared, and Bluetooth. It also
describes Internet Explorer for Web browsing.
6.1 Connection Settings
Your Pocket PC has two groups of connection settings: “My ISP” and “My
Work Network.” My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and My
Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private network, such as a
corporate network you use at work.
Connections can be made using a modem, wireless network, or network
(Ethernet) card.
After the connections, you can browse the Internet or intranet, send and receive
e-mail and instant messages, and synchronize information using ActiveSync.
Modem Connection
With a modem, you can dial in to your ISP or corporate network. Before
creating the connection, you need to:
 Have a modem (IR or SD IO). (For installation information, see the
documentation supplied with the product.)
 Obtain the following information from your ISP or network administrator:
server phone number, user name, password, domain name and TCP/IP
settings.
