To use the Internet with your handheld PC, you will need to do
the following:
1. Connect and configure your modem.
2. Establish an Internet Service Provider (ISP) profile using the
Internet Setup Utility. (See Chapter 8, "Using Compaq
Software," for more on this.)
3. Make a dial-up connection by tapping Start Programs
Communication Remote Networking.
Browsing the Internet on a handheld PC can be different from
browsing it on a computer. Below are some tips for using the
Internet more efficiently with your C-Series.
To see an entire web page on the screen, tap the vertical and
horizontal scroll bars that appear on screen.
The C-Series does not support large amounts of graphics. To
avoid problems while browsing, disable the Show Picture
option in Pocket Internet Explorer. This allows you to open
web pages that contain graphics without the graphics being
displayed.
Performance with (and support for) Windows CE varies
among Internet service providers. If you experience difficulty
accessing the Internet, call your service provider to determine
if they support the Windows CE 2.0 operating system.
For more information on accessing the Internet, see the Windows
CE Services Help that you installed on your computer.
