IP address
Everyone who logs in 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. You can use the IP Address field to
indicate whether your network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP
addressing.
If your IP address is permanently assigned, you need to get that information from
your system administrator. If you are not sure, select Automatic.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
■
Tap the IP Address check box to select it.
To enter a permanent IP address:
1.
Tap the IP Address check box to deselect it and to display a permanent IP
address field below the check box.
2.
Tap the space to the left of the first period, and then enter the first section of the
IP address.
Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3.
Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.
4.
Tap OK.
Login scripts
A login script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a network
server—for example, your corporate network or your ISP. A login script is
associated with a specific network service profile created in Network Preferences.
A login script is something that you are likely to receive from your system
administrator if your company has a system in which you log in to the corporate
servers from your handheld using a modem or network connection. The script is
generally prepared by the system administrator and distributed to users who need
it. It automates the events that must take place to establish a connection between
your handheld and the corporate servers.
