Although the window controls vary, the actual parameters included are identical for both versions.
Network Profiles
Profile IP Address
The settings in the top group specify the IP address that your system will use when connected to this network. The default selection, Obtain IP address automatically, instructs Sprint SmartView to ask the network to assign it an appropriate address each time it connects. This is the correct setting for most network profiles.
However, if the network does not support automatic address assignment, you can enter appropriate values manually by selecting Use the following IP address. Contact the administrator of the network whose profile you are configuring to obtain appropriate values for these fields.
Profile DNS Server
The settings in the lower group specify the address of the name server that your system should use to translate names (for example, “Sprint.com”) to numerical addresses when connected to this network. The default selection, Obtain DNS server address automatically, instructs Sprint SmartView to ask the network to provide the address of a name server each time it connects. This is the correct setting for most network profiles.
However, if the network does not support automatic DNS server assignment, you can enter appropriate values manually by selecting Use the following DNS server address. Contact the administrator of the network whose profile you are configuring to obtain appropriate values for these fields.
Alternately, click Advanced to configure detailed settings for DNS and WINS servers.
