your intranet with Pocket Internet Explorer sections
in this chapter.
To disconnect from the network
1. Double-tap the HP connection icon in the status
area of the taskbar.
2. In the HP dialup window, tap Disconnect.
Connecting to corporate e-mail and network
resources onsite
If you want corporate e-mail and Internet service only
(with no access offsite), you will need:
•An installed network interface card (NIC)—that is
properly configured with the IP address of your DNS
and WINS servers (your network administrator can give
you this information) 
						

							106  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
•An account with your corporate network—includ-
ing an IP address for your HP Jornada, if it is not
dynamically assigned
•A network (LAN) connection—a network cable with
the appropriate connector for your NIC
Installing the network interface card (NIC)
Before you can connect directly to a network, you must
install an NIC and properly configure it with the IP
address of your DNS and WINS servers (check with your
network administrator for this information).
You must use an NIC to connect your HP Jornada directly
to a LAN. NICs are available from several manufacturers
as PC Card accessories. (For a list of recommended
PC Card NICs, go to the Hewlett-Packard Web site at
www.hp.com/jornada.) Install the PC Card NIC in the PC
Card slot on your HP Jornada, and then attach the net-
work cable according to the instructions provided by your
card manufacturer.
In addition to the PC Card NIC, you will need to install
the appropriate driver software to configure the NIC. Driv-
ers for Proxim 7400 and Socket LP-E LAN cards are in-
cluded on the HP Jornada. Drivers for other cards must be
obtained from the card manufacturer. Install software
drivers as you would any other third-party program. (For
more information, see the Installing programs section in
chapter 7.)
Establishing an account or guest privileges on the network
Contact your network administrator to set up an account
or guest privileges on the network. The network adminis-
trator will give you the information you need to log on to
the network just as you do with your desktop PC, includ-
ing user name, password, domain name, and IP address (if
applicable). 
						

							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  107
Use the Network control panel to configure the NIC with the
information your network administrator has provided.
To configure the NIC
1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then tap
Control Panel.
2. Double-tap the Network icon. The Network Con-
figuration dialog box appears.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the driver or adapter,
and then tap Properties. Check with your network
administrator if you do not know which settings to
use.
4. On the Identification tab, enter your user name,
password, and domain name. This information will
be saved, so you will not have to type it every time
you connect to a network resource.
Connecting the network cable and logging on
The final step before you can log on to the network is to
connect your NIC to the network cable. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions included with your PC Card and
contact your network administrator for further assistance.
Now, you can log on just as you do from your desktop PC.
To log on to the network with your HP Jornada
1. Insert the NIC into the PC Card slot on your
HP Jornada. The network will establish a connec-
tion automatically; once you are connected a
connection icon will appear in the status area of the
taskbar. (For more information, see the Inserting
a PC Card section in chapter 7.)
After you have connected your HP Jornada to the network,
you can access a file on a network file server by typing the
complete path to the file in the Windows CE address bar. 
						

							108  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
To access a file on a network
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, and then
tap Windows Explorer.
2. Be sure the address bar is visible—on the View
menu, be sure a check mark appears next to
Address Bar.
3. In the address bar, type the full network path
to the file you want to open, using the format
file:///servername/share/filename.
Windows Explorer keeps a list of the most recently used Internet and network resources, so
you will not have to type the path each time. Select a network path or URL from the drop-
down list.
Creating and modifying connections
You may set up more than one connection using HP dialup;
for example, you may create separate connections for
access to your personal e-mail and for network access. After
you have set up the first e-mail/Internet or network connec-
tion, use HP dialup to create another connection. You can
also use HP dialup to modify existing connections; for
instance, you may want to change the dial-up telephone
number or the dialing location. 
						

							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  109
To create an additional connection or location

HP dialup window appears.
2. Select the location or connection that you want to
modify from the drop-down lists, and then tap
Edit.
3. In the Connections or Locations dialog box, tap
Create New Connection or Create New Loca-
tion. The dialog boxes will appear just as they did
when you created the first connection.
4. Fill in the necessary information, according to the
type of connection you wish to make. (Refer to

Using your connections
After you have set up for the connection that best meets
your needs, you are ready to use that connection for
sending and receiving e-mail, browsing the Web, or receiv-
ing your CompuServe mail.
Using Inbox
You can use the Inbox program to send and receive e-mail
over the Internet with your HP Jornada. You can also
exchange e-mail over your company’s intranet, either by
remote dial-up (using your modem) or by direct connection
(with an NIC). Using Windows CE Services, you can
synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft
Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop com-
puter with your HP Jornada. Each time you synchronize,
Windows CE Services compares the changes you made on
your HP Jornada and desktop PC and updates both
computers, including changes to the messages in your
Inbox. For more information, see chapter 3, Connecting
to your desktop or refer to online Help. 
						

							112  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
HP dialup automatically sets up an Inbox service for you. However, you can also set up
Inbox services from within the Inbox program.
To set up e-mail service (Internet Mail)
1. Get the following information from your ISP or
network administrator: POP3 or IMAP4 server
name, SMTP host name, user name, password, and
domain name (for network connections only).
2. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Pocket Outlook, and then tap Inbox.

							Chapter 6  |  Accessing e-mail and the Web  |  113
•  Under When Getting Messages, choose how you
want messages downloaded by default. Choosing
Get full copy of messages will take up more
storage space on your HP Jornada. Choosing Only
synchronize Inbox folder hierarchy (IMAP4
only) will speed up the time it takes to download
your messages.
•  Under When Getting Full Copy, choose whether
you want to download file attachments and meet-
ing requests when you get full copies of messages.
This setting applies whether you have chosen to
download full copies of messages by default, or if
you selectively download full copies of messages by
opening the message and tapping the Get Full
Copy button. In addition, if you want to receive
meeting requests, your Exchange Server adminis-
trator must enable support for Rich Text Format
for your account.
For more information about Inbox settings, see the
Inbox settings section later in this chapter.
Sending, receiving, and processing your e-mail
You can use a dial-up connection to send messages directly
from your HP Jornada, or you can use Inbox synchroniza-
tion to send the messages you compose on your
HP Jornada from your desktop computer (see the Syn-
chronizing data section in chapter 3).
If you send messages directly from your HP Jornada, you
will first need to configure a connection to your ISP or
network, and then set up an e-mail service. You can use
the HP dialup application to set up both the connection
and the e-mail service, or you can create a connection
using Remote Networking, and then set up the e-mail
service in Inbox.
After you have created the connection and e-mail service,
use Inbox to connect to your service provider and retrieve
your mail. 
						

							114  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
To connect to your service provider from Inbox
1. On the Services menu, tap the connection you
would like to dial.
2. Type your user name, password, and domain name,
if necessary.
3. Tap Dial Properties if you need to modify a
location or choose a different one.
4. Tap Connect. A message will appear to show you
the status of your connection. When your connec-
tion is established, you can send and receive mail.
You can connect to your e-mail account and download messages to your HP Jornada even
if your desktop PC (partner) e-mail service is not Outlook or Exchange (for instance, if your
e-mail service is Lotus Notes). However, you can only synchronize with your desktop PC
mail if your desktop PC uses Outlook or Exchange as its mail client.
Inbox settings
When you connect to a mail server, the messages on your
device and mail server are synchronized: new messages or
message headers are downloaded to the HP Jornada Inbox
folder, messages in the HP Jornada Outbox folder are sent,
and messages that have been deleted from your Inbox are
removed from the server.
You can set Inbox to download all your messages or only
new message headers to the Inbox folder. By default, only
messages from the last 3 days will be downloaded.
Downloading only message headers saves storage space
and requires less connect time. By default, only message
headers and the first 100 lines of text are downloaded, and
the original messages remain on the mail server. If you
read a message header and decide that you want the full
copy, tap the Get Full Copy button on the Inbox toolbar.
The full text of the message will be retrieved the next time
you connect.
