6.5.6 Setting server address options
Note: Usually you do not have to alter Address options.
Most ISPs support automatic configuration of IP and
DNS addresses.
1. Press Address options to open the server address
options dialog.
2. In the Address options dialog, you can set the addresses
of your Internet services. IP addresses are unique strings
of numbers that point to computers on the network. Set
Auto retrieve IP address to Yes if you want to obtain the
IP addresses automatically from the server (this is also
called the dynamic IP). To type in the IP addresses on
the fields below, select No. Type in your IP address if
Auto retrieve IP address is set to No. In this case, your
ISP will provide you with a fixed IP address.
3. If you cannot auto retrieve DNS addresses automatically,
set Auto retrieve DNS address to No, and type in the
Primary DNS address and the Secondary DNS address if
necessary. DNS means “domain name server” – that is,
a server that translates domain names (foo.bar.com)
into IP addresses (of the type 000.000.000.000).
4. Press Done to close the Address options dialog.
5. Press Done to close the Advanced settings dialog.
6. Press Done to close the Connection details dialog.
Note: New connection is set as Preferred connection by
default. To select a different Preferred connection, press
Change. A list of your Internet connections opens.
6.6 Editing Internet access
To edit some additional settings of already configured
Internet access points, press the Menu key and open the
Control panel under Tools (or open it from Extras). Open
Internet access.
In addition to the settings discussed above, you can also
edit the following settings:
• Preferred connection: If you have configured several
Internet access points, select which one is the
preferred one when connecting to the Internet.
• If idle, stay online: The connection to the Internet will
automatically close after the inactivity period defined
here. The options are For 2 minutes/For 5 minutes/
For 10 minutes/For 60 minutes.
• Ask before connecting: To monitor the connection
process, set this setting to Yes. This way you can
always see when a connection is established as the
connection dialog opens when you use the Web
browser. If you are using several different IAPs (for
example, one for company intranet and one for public
WWW access, or one for normal and one for high-
speed data calls), it is recommended to set this to
Yes so that you can always be sure to which IAP
the connection will be made.
Press Done to close the Connection details dialog.
6.7 Tested Nokia 9290 Communicator
compatible PPP access servers
This section contains a list of commonly used PPP dial-in
access servers, which have been compatibility tested with
the Nokia 9290 Communicator. Another type of PPP server
may also work, assuming the server has been configured
with generally used PPP settings, such as:
• The PPP server is capable of establishing data calls
using the PSTN/ISDN V.110/ISDN V.120 method
• The server is able to handle a maximum transfer unit
(MTU) of at least 1500 octets
• Login script authentication with terminal server or
PAP/CHAP authentication with PPP server
• Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compression on/off
• Dynamically/manually set IP and DNS addresses
• PPP compression provided by Compression Control
Protocol on/off
• IP packet routing gateway information is set by the
PPP server
The configuration options listed here may differ for your
local Internet access point. Please contact your local ISP or
corporate information management to get more information
about used parameters for your Internet Access Point.
