Locating an IP address
Changing TCP/IP settings
Note:
Most ISPs and private networks now use dynamically assigned IP addresses. You will not need to change TCP/IP
settings unless your ISP or private network does not use dynamically assigned IP addresses. If you are not sure, check with
your network administrator.
To change TCP/IP Settings:
1.
Contact your ISP or network administrator to determine your IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway (if needed).
2.
Be sure Wi-Fi is powered on.

Changing DNS and WINS settings
Note:
Most ISPs and private networks now use dynamically assigned IP addresses. You will not need to change DNS and
WINS settings unless your ISP or private network does not use dynamically assigned IP addresses. If you are not sure, check
with your network administrator.
Servers that require an assigned IP address may also require a way to map computer names to IP
addresses. Your HP iPAQ supports two name resolution options:
•
DNS
•
WINS
To change server settings:
1.
Contact your ISP or network administrator to determine which name resolution to use, obtain the
specific server address, and determine whether alternate addresses are available.
Note:
An alternate address may enable you to connect when the primary server is unavailable.
2.
Be sure Wi-Fi is powered on.
