C2: How do I wirelessly browse the Internet?
(1) If your network uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Proto-
col), an IP address and DNS (or WINS) will be assigned auto-
matically. On your Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805, simply click
Start, Setting, Connection, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b
WLAN Adapter, then 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 elimi-
nates 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, Set-
tings, Connections, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN
Adapter, Properties, IP Address. To set DNS or WINS (Windows
Internet Naming Service), click Start, Settings, Connections, Net-
work Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, Properties, Name
Servers.
(3) To ping your Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 from your host com-
puter. 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 Toshiba
Pocket PC e800/e805
