network administrator will give you important informa-
tion, including an IP address for your HP Jornada, if it is
not dynamically assigned
•
A network (LAN) connection —This includes the
physical connection to your LAN.
Installing the network interface card
Before you can connect directly to a network, you must
install an NIC and properly configure it with the IP address
of your DNS and WINS servers (check with your network
administrator for this information).
You must use an NIC to connect your HP Jornada di-
rectly to a LAN. NICs are available from several manu-
facturers as PC Card accessories. (For a list of recom-
mended PCÊCard NICs, go to the Hewlett-Packard Web
site at www.hp.com/handheld
.
) Install the PC Card NIC in
the PCÊCard slot on your HP Jornada, and then attach the
network cable according to the instructions provided by
your card manufacturer.
In addition to the PC Card NIC, you will need to install the
appropriate driver software to configure the NIC. Drivers for
Proxim 7400 and Socket LP-E LAN cards are included on
the HP Jornada. Drivers for other cards must be obtained
from the card manufacturer. Install software drivers as you
would any other third-party program. (For more informa-
tion, see the
Installing programs section in chapterÊ7.)
