Adding a DNS number
If your ISP or dial-in server requires a DNS number and you did not enter that
information in the Network Preferences screen, it will appear that you successfully
logged into your network. When you try to use an application or look up
information, however, the connection fails. If this occurs, try adding a DNS IP
address. Ask your ISP or your system administrator for the correct primary and
secondary DNS IP address.
Phone Preferences
The Phone Preferences setting enables you to configure your handheld to exchange
SMS messages and dial phone numbers when your handheld is connected to a
GSM mobile phone (sold separately). To use this feature, you must first install the
appropriate files for your carrier and phone. For more information, see Chapter 14.

connection” in Chapter 14 for instructions.
