Windows CE HPCs and the Internet
Setting up a PPP Connection

Everything you need to connect your Windows CE HPC to a PPP internet connection is included, and just needs to be configured! Of course, you will need a few things.


Requirements:
  • A Windows CE HPC
  • A PCMCIA modem card that will work with your HPC
  • An ISP account (you'll need their phone number and any TCP/IP settings)


Setting up the Connection

Connect your modem to your HPC, then turn the HPC on. Click Start, Programs, then double-tap on the Communications folder. Within this folder, you should see an icon labled Remote Communications. Double-tap that icon, and you should something similar to the following:

You will likely only see the "Make New Connection" icon if this is the first time you've set up any connections.

Double-tap on the "Make New Connection" icon, and the screen below will appear. Enter any name you'd like to use for this connection, and click the "Dial Up Connection" button. You should see something like this (I used "My ISP" as the name for my connection): (Primary suggests using "Primary Network" as the Dialer Name)

The next screen will ask you to select a modem. Hopefully, Windows CE auto-detected your modem and has it already listed in the drop-down box. Enter the telephone number that you dial to connect to your ISP (Click here to find your Primary Connection Phone Number). It should look something like this: (The phone number in the picture below is an example - DO NOT USE IT - it is not a Primary Number)

Now click the "Configure" button. You should see the following:

Make any changes necessary on this screen. If your ISP doesn't handle automatic PPP handshaking, for example, you may need to click the "Use terminal window after dialing" in order to enter your user ID and password. (Primary allows automatic PPP handshaking. Use the "Use terminal window before dialing " only if you have a problem dialing in automatically) You may also want to adjust the listed baud rate if it's not correct for your modem.

Click the OK button, and you'll be back at the previous screen. Now click the "TCP/IP Settings" button. The TCP/IP Settings screen will appear. Adjust the settings as necessary - for most ISP's, the defaults will work just fine. In my example, I've unchecked the "Server-assigned name server addresses" box and entered a specific DNS server IP address:
Primary's Server addresses are: Primary DNS 205.242.92.2, Secondary DNS 205.242.176.103

Click "OK" and you'll return to the "Remote Communications" folder, and should see a new icon for the connection you created: (Your Primary dialer should be named "Primary Network" here)

Using the Connection

Now you're ready to connect to the internet with your HPC! Connect your modem to a phone line, then go to the "Remote Communications" folder, and double-tap the icon for the connection.

A screen will appear asking for a user ID and password. (Your Primary username and password are assigned by you at signup. Remember, the username and password must be in lower case letters - NO CAPS) Once you're ready, click the Connect button, and Windows CE will dial and attempt to connect to your ISP. If PPP handshaking is supported by your ISP, you'll be automatically connected. If your ISP requires you manually enter your ID and password, then a panel will appear showing you the logon information and allowing you to enter it (you may need to adjust your connection to "Use terminal window after dialing" for this).
