Note: If you are not sure, try PPP; if that doesn't work, ask your
Internet Service Provider or your System Administrator for
the correct connection type.
Idle timeout
The Idle timeout setting defines how long your organizer waits before
dropping the connection with your ISP or dial-in server when you
switch out of a TCP/IP application.

options:
Immediate

3 minutes
Power Off
2. Tap OK.
Defining primary and secondary DNS
The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for
translating the names of host computers into IP addresses. When you
enter a DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying a specific
server that handles the translation services.
Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the Details
dialog box, you enter each section separately. Each section of an IP
address is made up of a number from 0 to 255; numbers are the only
allowable characters in this field.
Ask your Internet Service Provider or System Administrator for the
correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers.
