Changing Dns And Wins Settings - HP IPAQ H5100 User Manual

Changing DNS and WINS Settings

✎
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and private networks
now use dynamically-assigned IP addresses. You will not need
to change DNS and WINS settings unless your ISP or private
network does not use dynamically-assigned IP addresses. If
you are not sure, check with your network administrator.
Servers that require an assigned IP address may also require a
way to map computer names to IP addresses. Your iPAQ Pocket
PC supports two name resolution options:
■
DNS
■
WINS
To change server settings:
1. Contact your ISP or network administrator to determine
which name resolution to use, obtain the specific server
address, and determine whether alternate addresses are
available.
✎
An alternate address may enable you to connect when the primary
server is unavailable.
2. Be sure the WLAN is powered on.
3. Tap the Connections icon > Settings > Advanced tab >
Network Card button > Network Adapters tab.
4. In the My network card connects to... dropdown box, tap
either The Internet or Work.
✎
If you are connecting to your ISP at home, tap The Internet. If
you are connecting to a private network such as a corporate
network at work, you should tap Work.
