Harvey, Aaron, Thank you guys for answering. I could not reply yesterday, sorry. However, I still need to clarify something. This might be Palm things. No, this is not GPRS. This is a GSM modem service. My Palm client is dialing directly to a desktop Dial-Up Server (WinME). There is no other clients in this network besides that Palm based client. And there is no other servers too. Nevertheless, I have to use the Palm Network Preferences settings just ignoring the DNS details. I believe also that a static IP addresses are good too (the client-server system runs great on a local network). BTW, how to ping a static IP address from Palm? Is there a utility?
It is evident that there is a transaction via my network - the modem link icon appears in the desktop's trash, and the modem pop-up window reports 'connected', and hundreds of bytes are being sent and received. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any log file on this. However, the desktop Server hangs up in 20 secs reporting that at its status field, and the authentification failure 0x1233 occurs at Palm's side. Interestingly enough, this behavior is going on in the case of PPP set at both sides. This is different if the SLIP is set at Palm's side (I know it should be set at both sides but there is no explicit option in the Dial-Up Server). The matter is that my Palm connects(!) very soon (at least it reports so), and the server goes on with answering (sending several hundreds of bytes more, and not receiving any more yet). Finally it hangs up. Now I can see there is an authentification problem in the case of PPP. The protocol is required by the server's nature. My questions are the following. What is to be specified on Palm's side for a proper authentification besides PW and User Name? Next is not Palm's thing, but I need a hand. What is exactly the User Name at the Dial-Up Server in Win98/ME? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harvey Muzina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 11:15 PM Subject: Re: Data link > > you sure this is right? if you dont set it to query > > DNS, and, have no primary and secondary DNS servers, > > > how do you expect your host names to resolve? this > > is a standard network thing :) not palm. :P > > If he is just going to connect to his server and knows > its IP address he does not need a DNS. > > -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
