Chapter 6 | Accessing e-mail | 107 Browsing the Web or your intranet with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for H/PC You can use MS Internet Explorer for H/PC to browse the Web or your corporate intranet with your HP Jornada. Internet Explorer allows you to view Web sites directly on your HP Jornada, download forms from your corporate intranet and save them for later use, or save your favorite online news page to read later when you are offline. After you have set up an online connection with your ISP or your network account, you are ready to dial up and start browsing the Web or your intranet. You can set Internet Explorer to automatically dial a connection you create whenever you start it. If you have not yet created an ISP or network connection, you must set up a service provider before you can browse the Web. Use either HP dialup or Remote Networking to set up your connection. (If you choose to use Remote Networking, see the Creating connections without HP dialup section in this chapter.) If you set up the Web service using HP dialup, you can set different Web browsing options and preferences for each connection. The options you set in HP dialup determine how the connection is made and what home and search pages are displayed. To edit or set connection information in MS Internet Explorer for H/PC 1. In Internet Explorer, on the View menu, tap Internet Options. 2. On the Connections tab under Auto Dial, tap the Use Auto Dial checkbox. 3. Choose the Dial-Up networking connection to be used. 4. Select the Auto Disconnect checkbox if you wish to disconnect automatically from the Internet after a specified period of idle time. 5. If you are required to use a Proxy Server on a network, tap Use Proxy Server and enter the server address.

To connect using HP dialup, use the following procedure. To browse the Web or your company intranet 1. Double-tap the HP dialup icon on your desktop. The HP dialup window appears. 2. Select your network service provider and a dialing location from the drop-down boxes. 3. Choose the Launch Internet Explorer check box option. 4. Check the telephone number, and then tap Dial.

Internet Explorer starts up automatically and you are ready to browse the Web or your corporate intranet.
