Re: Connecting to Work or Connecting to the Internet?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

This page, while written for the PPC 2002 OS, has a nice explanation of how
each mode, ie. Work or Internet, functions...

With my WM 2003 OS device I configure the Connection Manager for "Work" and
leave it at that...

Modify as needed for your version of the OS on your device...

Thanks for the reply...guess I'm still confused...my setup on my PPC is
set to Connects To Work but I access the Internet thru my wireless

Thanks for your patience.
