CONNECTING TO AN ISP

You can connect to an ISP by creating a dial-up connection. Once

connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages.

To create a dial-up connection to an ISP:

Install a modem CompactFlash card.

Get the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access

telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings.

Select StartààProgramsààCommunicationààConnections.

Double-tap the Make New Connection icon.

Enter a name for the connection, such as "ISP Dial-Up."

Select Dial-Up Connection, then select Next.

Select your modem type.

You should not need to change any settings in the Configure or

TCP/IP Settings dialog boxes. Most ISPs now use server-assigned

addresses. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use server-

assigned addresses, enter the addresses in the TCP/IP Settings dialog

box. When finished, select Next.

Enter the access phone number and select Finish.

Once you have created the dial-up connection, double-tap the connection,

enter your user name and password, and select Connect any time you

want to connect. Once connected, you can use Inbox to send and receive

e-mail. Before you can use Inbox, you need to provide the information it

needs to communicate with the mail server. For specific instructions, see

Inbox.
