Connecting to the Internet or your network
You can use the Connections settings to create dial-up,
Virtual Private Network (VPN), GPRS, and proxy
connections so that you can connect to the Internet or
your corporate network. By using a data connection,
you can browse the Internet, download e-mails, chat by
using MSN® Messenger, or synchronize remotely with
an Exchange Server. Check with your service provider
to see if a data connection has already been set up for
you, and if over-the-air configuration is supported.
