Connecting to Your Network 3
If you have access to a network, you can send e-mail, access file servers, view
intranet pages, and possibly access the Internet. You can connect to your network in
one of two ways:
• Create a dial-up connection using a RAS account. Before you can create this
dial-up connection, your network administrator will need to set up a RAS account
for you. If this is the method you want to use, see “To create a dial-up connection
to a network.”
• Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is the method
you want to use, see “To create a network (Ethernet) connection.”
To create a dial-up connection to a network: 3
1. If your PenCentra 200 does not have a built-in modem, install a modem card.
2. Get the following information from your network administrator: corporate
dial-up access telephone number, user name, password, and domain name.
3. Select Start, Programs, Communications, and then Remote Networking.
4. Double-tap or double-click the Make New Connection icon.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as “Corporate Dial-Up,” select Dial-Up
Connection, and then select Next.
6. Select your modem type. You should not need to change settings in the
Configure or TCP/IP Settings dialog boxes. When finished, select Next.
7. Enter the access phone number and select Finish.
Once you have created the dial-up connection, you simply double-tap or
double-click the connection, enter your user name, password, and domain, and
select Connect any time you want to connect. Once connected, you can use Pocket
Internet Explorer to visit intranet Web pages and 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: Sending
and Receiving E-mail Messages” earlier in this chapter.

You do not need to create a new connection in Remote Networking on your
PenCentra 200 for a network connection. Instead, you must install and configure an
