(1) If your network uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), an IP address and
DNS (or WINS) will be assigned automatically. On your Pocket PC, simply click Start→
Setting→Connections→Network Adapters→IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter→Properties to
set the proper setting for Internet connection.
(2) If your network does not use DHCP, you should enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway
and DNS (or WINS).
IP Address is Internet Protocol Address; a numeric address such as 10.37.238.100 that the
domain name server translates into a domain name. Each node on the IP network should
have a unique IP address.
Subnet mask is a number used to identify a subnetwork when multiple networks share one
IP address. For example 255.255.255.0Gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to
and from a remote destination.
DNS stands for Domain Name System, a database system, which translates addresses and
domain names. For example, a numeric address like 232.245.021.54 can become something
like cba.com.
WINS stands for Windows Internet Naming Service which has two functions; one is a
Microsoft Net BIO name server that eliminates the broadcasts needed to resolve computer
names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of translations. The other one is to
set the IP address of the host computer that you already construct the partnership for
Network adapter Active sync purpose.
To set IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway, click Start→Settings→Connections→
Network Adapters→IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter→Properties→IP Address.
To set DNS or WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service), click Start→Settings→
Connections→Network Adapters→IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter→ Properties→Name
Servers.
(3) To ping your Pocket PC from your host computer. In the Host Computer, open the DOS
command mode window, type the command "Ping" followed by the IP address, such as
"Ping 140.124.40.112". If you can see the reply from this IP address, the connection is
complete. You are now ready to browse the Internet using Internet Explorer on your Pocket
PC.
