Accessing a computer not on a network
If you want to dial in to a computer that is not on a network
(such as your home PC with Windows 95 and Microsoft Plus!
pack), you must set up the target PC to receive your calls as
follows.
The target desktop PC must be turned on.
The target desktop PC must have a modem installed and
configured and must be set to receive incoming calls.
(Refer to the instructions from the manufacturer of your
desktop PC modem.)
Dial-up Networking (Windows 95) or Remote Access
Service (Windows NT) must be set up and configured so
that your target PC can act as a server. (See your Win-
dows documentation for further instructions.)
Windows CE Services must be set up on the target PC
(for instructions, see the Installing Windows CE
Services section in this chapter). The Auto Connect
option should be set to At all times.
Windows CE Services must be running, and the Waiting
for mobile device to connect status message should
appear in the Mobile Devices window.
In the Windows CE Services Properties dialog box,
Device connection via network must be enabled.
Any folders or drives you want to access must be shared.
You need the following information to establish a Remote
Networking connection:
Your Windows user name and password, if you are
required to log on to your computer
Telephone number of the modem
To create a connection to a computer not on a network (such
as a home computer), you will need to create a new connec-
tion using Remote Networking on your HP Jornada.
