Connecting to a Laptop
You can use your HP iPAQ as a wireless modem. The Internet Sharing software on your HP iPAQ
guides you during the connection process. Insert a GPRS-enabled SIM into your HP iPAQ before setting
up Internet Sharing. You may also need to install the software drivers (located on the Getting Started
CD) on to your laptop. Before you can begin Internet sharing, make sure you have a cellular connection.
If you do not have an active connection, you will not be able to launch the Internet Sharing application.
