Using the Wireless LAN (h5500 only) 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. User's Guide 9-12
