Changing Dns And Wins Settings - HP rx3000 Series User Manual

Changing DNS and WINS Settings

Note:
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:
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:
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.
