6.5 Network Cards Settings
Use a network (Ethernet) card to connect directly to a network. Once connected, you can
view the Internet or intranet, or download E-mail. Make sure to purchase and configure a
network card that is compatible with your Pocket PC Phone.
Setting up your network card
1. Insert the network card into your Pocket PC Phone.
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.
3. To enter specific server information, tap the appropriate adapter to modify the related
settings.
To start a connection, insert the network card, and begin using a desired program.
Changing network card settings
1. Tap the Start menu > Settings > the Connections tab > Network Cards.
2. In the My network card connects to drop-down box, tap either The Internet or Work. If
you are connecting to your ISP at home, tap The Internet. If you are connecting to a private
network such as a corporate network at work, tap Work.
3. Tap the appropriate adapter in the Tap an adapter to modify settings box. The IP address
will now appear in the IP Address box in the IP Address tab.
4. To change TCP/IP settings, if your ISP or private network does not use dynamically-assigned
IP addresses, tap Use specific IP address and enter the requested information. Contact
your ISP or network administrator to get the IP address, subnet mask, and/or default gateway
(if needed).
5. To change DNS and WINS settings, if your ISP or private network does not use dynamically-
assigned IP addresses, tap the Name Servers tab and enter the requested information.
Servers that require an assigned IP address may also require a way to map computer
names to IP address. DNS and WINS are the resolution options supported on your Pocket
PC Phone.
