Using Wi-Fi

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.
