To create a new Internet account

Accounts
tab, select
New
.
2. Give the account a name. This will be the name shown in
your list of accounts. (In dialogs that appear while a
connection is being established the text
-GPRS
is
automatically added to names of GPRS accounts.)
3. Choose the
Connection type
for the type of account that you
want to create, GPRS or Dial-Up.
4. Continue entering settings as required. These will differ
depending on the type of account: GPRS, Dial-Up or High-
Speed Dial-Up:
New GPRS account
For some accounts you may need to make advanced settings. If
advanced settings are required, they must be provided by your
ISP. Select
Advanced
and enter settings on the tabs as described
below:
GPRS Advanced settings tabs
Server User name and password
Normally, you do not have to enter a user name and
password when you connect to a GPRS account. However,
some service providers may require you to enter these
details.
If you select the
User name and password required
check
box, but do not enter a user name and password, you will
be prompted to enter these when the P800 connects.
Address
Enter the Internet address of your access point. The address
is supplied by your service provider.
Log in
The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS addresses.
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet Service
Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your P800 uses to
connect to the Internet. Your P800 can normally fetch these
addresses automatically from most ISPs.
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot connect
to the Internet and you suspect these addresses are
incorrect, ask your ISP for their primary and secondary
DNS addresses.
