If you want to select an Internet account every time you connect
to the Internet, select the

the account that your P800 prompts you to use.

Accounts
tab, select

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.

GPRS Advanced 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.
