The Treo Won't Connect to the Internet

Your Treo supports PCS Vision, a way to connect to the Internet that is persistent,

Perform a soft reset (see page 152).
Contact Sprint to verify that your subscription plan includes PCS Vision
services, that these services have been correctly activated, and to confirm your
user name and password. Sprint should also be able to tell you if there are any
outages in your area.

Synchronization (HotSync)

Synchronization lets you back up your Treo data onto your computer. If you ever
need to perform a hard reset or otherwise erase all your data on your Treo, you can
perform a HotSync operation to restore the data from your computer. To make
sure you always have an up-to-date backup of your data, synchronize frequently.
Before you attempt a HotSync operation, make sure you have installed the Palm
Desktop and HotSync Manager software from the CD that came with your Treo.
Every device needs a unique name. Never synchronize more than one device to
the same user name on your computer.

If the synchronization is successful, you do not need to complete the remaining

2. Make sure that the HotSync Manager is running:
