6.5.6 Setting server address options

Note: Usually you do not have to alter Address options. Most ISPs support automatic configuration of IP and DNS addresses.

1.Press Address options to open the server address options dialog.

2.In the Address options dialog, you can set the addresses of your Internet services. IP addresses are unique strings of numbers that point to computers on the network. Set Auto retrieve IP address to Yes if you want to obtain the IP addresses automatically from the server (this is also called the dynamic IP). To type in the IP addresses on the fields below, select No. Type in your IP address if Auto retrieve IP address is set to No. In this case, your ISP will provide you with a fixed IP address.

3.If you cannot auto retrieve DNS addresses automatically, set Auto retrieve DNS address to No, and type in the Primary DNS address and the Secondary DNS address if necessary. DNS means “domain name server” – that is, a server that translates domain names (foo.bar.com) into IP addresses (of the type 000.000.000.000).

4.Press Done to close the Address options dialog.

5.Press Done to close the Advanced settings dialog.

6.Press Done to close the Connection details dialog.

Note: New connection is set as Preferred connection by default. To select a different Preferred connection, press Change. A list of your Internet connections opens.

6.6 Editing Internet access

To edit some additional settings of already configured Internet access points, press the Menu key and open the Control panel under Tools (or open it from Extras). Open Internet access.

In addition to the settings discussed above, you can also edit the following settings:

•Preferred connection: If you have configured several Internet access points, select which one is the preferred one when connecting to the Internet.

•If idle, stay online: The connection to the Internet will automatically close after the inactivity period defined here. The options are For 2 minutes/For 5 minutes/ For 10 minutes/For 60 minutes.

•Ask before connecting: To monitor the connection process, set this setting to Yes. This way you can always see when a connection is established as the connection dialog opens when you use the Web browser. If you are using several different IAPs (for example, one for company intranet and one for public WWW access, or one for normal and one for high- speed data calls), it is recommended to set this to

Yes so that you can always be sure to which IAP the connection will be made.

Press Done to close the Connection details dialog.
