Changing DNS and WINS Settings

Note:

Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and private

networks now use dynamically-assigned IP addresses. You will
not need to change Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows
Internet Naming Service (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 HP iPAQ
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.

Note:

An alternate address may enable you to connect when the

primary server is unavailable.

2. Be sure the Wi-Fi is on.

3. From the iPAQ Wireless screen, tap > Settings > Network

Adapters tab.

4. In the My network card connects to... listbox, tap either

The Internet or Work.

Note:

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.

5. In the Tap an adapter to modify settings box, tap HP iPAQ

Wi-Fi Adapter.
