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.

Tip:

Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you are

not sure, leave the DNS field blank.

To enter a primary and secondary DNS:

1. Tap the Query DNS check box to deselect it.

2. Tap the space to the left of the first period in the Primary DNS field,

and then enter the first section of the IP address.

Note:

Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.

3. Repeat step 2 for the second, third, and last sections of the Primary

DNS field.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Secondary DNS number.

5. Tap OK.

IP address

Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier

(an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some networks

dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients log in. The IP

Address field lets you identify whether your network provides

automatic (dynamic) temporary IP addressing.

Never

Keeps your PPP or SLIP connection until you

turn off your handheld (or until it times out). This

option works best with the PalmModem

accessory.
