Connecting to an Internet Service Provider

98
You can set up connections to the Internet and corporate network at work
to do such activities as browsing the Internet or intranet, sending and re-
ceiving e-mail and instant messages, and synchronizing information using
ActiveSync.
Connections can be made using a modem, wireless network, or network
(Ethernet) card. You can use a modem connection to set up connections
with an external modem, or through your mobile phone network using a
cellular line or GPRS.
Your 700 Color Computer has two groups of connection settings: My ISP
and My Work Network. My ISP settings connect to the Internet, and My
Work Network settings connect to any private network, such as a corpo-
rate network you use at work.
S My ISP. Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages by
using Inbox and view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Ex-
plorer. The communication software for creating an ISP connection is
already installed on your 700 Color Computer. Your service provider
provides the software needed to install other services, such as paging and
fax services. If this is the method you want to use, see "Connecting to an
Internet Service Provider" on page 98.
S My Work Network: Connect to the network at your company or orga-
nization where you work. Once connected, you can send and receive
e-mail messages by using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using
Pocket Internet Explorer, and synchronize with your desktop. If this is
the method you want to use, see "Connecting to Work" on page 104.
You can connect to your ISP, and use the connection to send and receive
e-mail messages and view Web or WAP pages. You can connect to your
ISP in one of two ways:
S Create a modem connection. If this is the method you want to use, see
"Creating a Modem Connection to an ISP" below.
S Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is
the method you want to use, see "Creating an Ethernet Connection to an
ISP" on page 103. Note: This does not apply to the 730 Computer.

Creating a Modem Connection to an ISP

mation in front of the user name, such as MSN/username.
