network card that is compatible with your Pocket PC Phone.
Setting up your network card

2. The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically. Or to change
later, tap the Start menu > Setting > the Connections tab > Network Cards.

settings.
To start a connection, insert the network card, and begin using a desired program.
Changing network card settings

PC Phone.
