GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide 45
Setting up connections
The GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld has two groups of connection
settings: My ISP and My Work Network. My ISP settings are used to
connect your device to the Internet, and My Work Network settings
can be used to connect to any other private network, such as a
corporate intranet you use at work.
You can set up a connection to store the configuration details for
connecting to a particular computer or network, so that you do not
have to enter these details each time you connect.
Set up a new dial-up modem connection or a Virtual Private Network
(VPN) for each computer or network that you want to access
remotely.

Internet Service provider or wireless service provider:
