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 Wo r k .
