domain name.
3. Insert the Ethernet card into your device. For instructions on inserting and using the Ethernet
card, see the owner’s manual for the card.
4. The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically so that you can
configure the Ethernet card. Most networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change these
settings unless your network administrator instructs you to do so. Tap OK. (If it does not
appear or to change settings later, tap

Network, tap the adapter you want to change, and then tap Properties.)

Connect Directly to an E-mail Server
You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail messages
by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your Pocket PC.
The ISP or network must use a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server and an SMTP gateway.
You can use multiple e-mail services to receive your messages. For each e-mail service you intend
to use, first set up and name the e-mail service. If you use the same service to connect to different
mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.
