1.Open Pref application and select Network page. For Tungsten-T model firstly click Communication button and then select Network page.

3.Palm Treo 600, 650, 680, 700p, 755p users should tap "Modify" button. This will allow you to edit a settings.

 



4.UserName/Password. Currently Softick PPP doesn't check user name and password, so you can leave them blank.

5.Connection: Cradle/Cable.

1.Set Connection type to PPP
For Palm Treo 600, 650, 680, 700p, 755p users only - please skip this item. PPP connection on your device set up by default.

2.Idle timeout: as you wish. For instance, "Never," since Palm is being charged when it is in the cradle.

3.Check "Query DNS" if you have provided DNS addresses in Softick PPP desktop configuration program. Otherwise, ask your network administrator for valid DNS server addresses.

4.Check "Automatic" to receive IP address from desktop automatically.



5.Tap "Script". It should be empty (only single line with "End" should be in the list).
