Connecting your hp Jornada  
Your hp Jornada gives you several options for connecting to a remote 
computer. You can use an optional CompactFlash card modem, an 
infrared modem, or a mobile phone. Each of these methods requires 
purchase of a modem or adapter as an optional accessory. For more 
information about compatible modems and accessories, visit the hp 
Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
. 
Connecting with a CompactFlash Card 
Your hp Jornada supports a variety of CompactFlash card modems and 
network interface cards (NICs). Whether you use a CompactFlash modem 
or CompactFlash NIC, the card must be a CompactFlash Type I or 
CompactFlash Type I extended card. For a list of compatible 
CompactFlash cards, go to the hp Jornada accessories page at 
www.hp.com/jornada
. For instructions on how to install a CompactFlash 
card in your hp Jornada, see “Accessories” in Chapter 6. 
Many NICs also require that you install a software driver. The card manu-
facturer must provide a software driver for the hp Jornada. Follow the card 
manufacturer’s instructions for installing the card and configuring the driver 
for use with your hp Jornada. 
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of 
the card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters 
when you create a new connection (see “Creating an ISP or Network 
Connection,” later in this chapter). 
When you are ready to connect, connect the CompactFlash card to an 
analog telephone line or a network connection using the appropriate 
cable. Follow the card manufacturer’s instructions to attach the cable to the 
port on the card.  
 
 
Do not connect a CompactFlash modem to a digital telephone line unless it is 
specifically designed for use with a digital line.

Connecting with an Infrared Modem 
You can also use the infrared port on your hp Jornada to connect to the 
Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem. 
When you create a new dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA 
modem from the modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on 
your hp Jornada with the infrared port on the modem before dialing the 
call. 
Connecting with a Mobile Phone  
If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use 
the mobile phone to connect your hp Jornada to the Internet or to a remote 
computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you 
can connect your hp Jornada to the mobile phone using either a Compact-
Flash card interface or the infrared port.  
CompactFlash Connectivity Kit 
You may be able to obtain a CompactFlash Type I or Type I extended 
connectivity kit from the manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party 
manufacturer. In either case, the kit must be designed to work with the 
specific model of your phone, and the manufacturer must provide a driver 
for use with the hp Jornada.  
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of 
the card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters 
when you create a new connection (see “Creating an ISP or Network 
Connection,” later in this chapter). 
Via Infrared 
If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an 
optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use 
the infrared port on your hp Jornada to connect. When you create a new 
dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. 
Align the infrared port on your hp Jornada with the infrared port on the 
mobile phone before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to 
establish a wireless connection using a mobile phone, check the hp 
Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
.

Creating an ISP or Network Connection  
To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an ISP, 
an account on your corporate network, or access permission to dial in to a 
specific computer. 
For each account, you will need a user name and password provided by 
the ISP or account administrator. If you are connecting to a commercial 
ISP, you will also need to know the dial-up telephone number, and IP and 
DNS addresses (if required). 
If you plan to use the account to send or receive e-mail messages directly 
from your hp Jornada, you must also obtain the following information from 
your ISP or account administrator: 
• A user name and password for your e-mail account. (These may be 
different from the user name and password you use to connect.) 
• The name of the POP3 or IMAP4 server (for incoming messages). 
• The name of the SMTP server (for outgoing messages).  
 
Before you can use a modem to connect to an ISP or to dial in to a specific 
desktop PC, you must create a connection for that service on your hp 
Jornada. If you use an NIC to connect to a corporate network, you must 
configure your network connection. Your hp Jornada will recognize the 
connection after you attach the network cable to the NIC.  
To create a modem connection to an ISP 
1.  Get the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access 
telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings.  
2. On the Start menu, tap Settings. On the Connections tab, tap 
Connections.  
3.  In the automatic Internet connection options, select Internet 
Settings, and then tap Modify. 
4. On the Modem tab, tap New. 
5.  Enter a name for the connection, such as “ISP Connection.” 
6. In the Select a modem list, select your modem type.  
7.  You should not need to change any advanced settings. Most ISPs 
assign IP addresses dynamically. If the ISP you are connecting to 
does not use a dynamically assigned IP address, tap Advanced,
