Idle Timeout
The Idle timeout setting defines how long your PDA
phone waits before dropping the connection with your
ISP or dial-in server when you switch out of a TCP/IP
application.
Selecting
Never
keeps your PPP or SLIP connection until
you turn off your PDA phone, or until it times out.
Query DNS
You can enter a DNS (Domain Name System) IP
address. A 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.
To enter a DNS number, tap the
Query DNS
check box to
remove the check mark.
Each IP address has four sections separated by periods.
In the Details dialogue 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 ISP or system
administrator for the correct primary or secondary DNS
IP address.
Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS IP
address. If you are not sure, leave the DNS fields blank.
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.
