To create an Ethernet connection to a network:
1.
You do not need to create a new connection on your Pocket PC.
Instead, you must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is
compatible with your Pocket PC.
2.
Get the following information from your network administrator: user
name, password, and domain name.
3.
Insert the Ethernet card into your Pocket PC. For instructions on inserting
and using the Ethernet card, see the owner's manual for the card.
4.
The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear
automatically so that you can configure the Ethernet card. Most
networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change these settings
unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Tap OK. (If it does not appear or to change settings later, tap
then Settings. On the Connections tab, tap Network, tap the
adaptor you want to change and then tap properties.)

Connect the Ethernet card to the network by using a network cable.
For information, see your owner's manual.

apply. For more information on synchronizing remotely, see ActiveSync
Help on the desktop computer.
To start the connection, simply start using one of the programs listed in
the preceding section. Once connected, you can perform the same
activities as listed in the preceding section.
