In my office I've had problems connecting my SPV 650 (VOX) to the wireless router.
I recently got a HTC Tattoo, and had the same problem. Eventually I stopped using the routers DHCP server, and assigned it myself, and I changed the DNS to work with the correct DNS server settings. This worked a treat.
However, on my SPV, if I assign the IP addresses etc, I have trouble with the DNS server. There is no where to set it, all I can change is the device's IP address, the gateway and the subnet mask...
Anyone know if I can set the primary and secondary DNS servers in the registry? Its doing my head in.
Thanks, Chris

Hi Folks,
I have set up my wife's SPV E650 to hook up to our wireless network at home so she can connect to the internet through the home wireless network. We have static IP's on our LAN. Although I have specified a static IP for the E650's wireless connection, I cannot find out where I specify the DNS servers to allow her to connect to the internet via our ISP, (I know the DNS server IPs, I just can't find out where I enter that info on the E650). So at the moment, I can connect to the home network, but cannot get onto t'internet!
It is quite likely that I am being a spaz and am missing something obvious... regardless, if you can help me, let me know!
Cheers

even if you have a static IP you should not have to specify a static DNS because your default gateway should be your router IP address and your router should automatically give the DNS servers to any device that pulls that ip address

Thanks for your response.
All the other devices on my home network (laptop, PC, Xbox 360, SPV M3100) ask for the DNS server to be specified in a static IP environment, and they all connect to the internet just fine through the wireless network.
I am sure you are right, but I know that none of the above mentioned devices connect to the internet without the DNS servers specified.
So, question remains, how do I specify the DNS servers on the E650? Maybe a registry entry?
@mortalwombat,
i have the same problem with my htc s710.
Even though I run the wireless network with static IPs, I set my HTC S710 to get the IP "from a server" (= dynamic IP setting).
I did this after I tried with an IP Adress within my IP Adress Range.
So what happened is that my S710 somehow gets an IP Adress from my router that is almost in my regular IP Range.
You can try to set an static IP Adress within your Range first and then switch to dynamic IP Adress on you device..

I'm connecting with my HTC S710 to a WiFi with a static IP. The WiFi connection is set, I can ping other devices within the network but I can't view web pages and synchronize mails. I did lot of tests and I found that the problem is DNS! When I use IP address instead of www.something.com I can view the WWW site!
Does anybody know how to set DNS in my smartphone? DNS address is the same as gateway's in my case.
There's no possibility. Either you activate DHCP on your WiFi Gateway or you use a third party software that allows you to define WiFi profiles.
Does this one work for you? http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wifi-profiles-v0-0-2.html (although it is originally designed for PPCs)
Hallo fwmone,
thanks for your post!
I have just installed the Wifi Profile program but it's for PPC so there are problems with filling in the right values. I hope I'll be able to figure out how to use it. Anyway the programmer is also Czech so I've wrote him an email asking whether he plans to build Smartphone version..
The wifi I connect to is a local provider and unfortunately he uses static IPs
I'm really surprised that Vox doesn't have such a simple thing like DNS manual settings.
Yeah, the static IP functionality is quite useless without the possibility to set a DNS server.
Means "local provider" you're using some type of wireless internet at home or is it at a location where you can't control the situation? As long as you're using the service at home, you might install a WAP that works as a repeater for the WAN and offers DHCP functionality.
Hi fwmone!
So the problem is solved! The application WiFi Profiles v0.0.5 helped. Despite it's for PPCs it is possible to use it and to set all network configuration including DNS. After applying the profile the connection works fine! GREAT!!
Thanks for your hint!
FYI: that local provider covers our street and I don't control the router/access point. But you're right WAP repeater would be also a solution.
Nice that it worked!
Hello,
How can I find the IP address for the DHCP server my Nexus One is attached to?
I am having a dual-DHCP server conflict but I do not know what the second server is and I do not know how to find the DHCP server IP address on my android phone.
Thanks,
Phil
2 DHCP servers in one Local network (Wired, Wireless or hybrid) will cause many problems, if you are the SysAdmin Disable one of them
anyway ,
you cant really determine what is the DHCP server unless its the same device as the router, in this case your Default gateway is the DHCP server
Hi,
I am working on a project and i need a local private network to do some testing for WiFi. I am trying to connect to a Router which is not having the DHCP server .I have manually changed the settings of Router. Since the DHCP server is not running in the Router, the DHCP client will not be able get the IP address . As I know, if there is no DHCP server in the network the DHCP client should assign an Auto IP in the series 169.254.xx.xx according to the Zeroconf logic. But this is not working. The DHCP client is getting timed out and connection is getting reset. I am using the DHCP client version 5.2.10 from Roy Marples.
Does this DHCP client support the Zeroconf? If DHCP client supports, how to enable the Auto IP ?
This started a couple of days ago, and I have now mitigated it with a couple of firewall rules on the VPN gateway, as well as shutting down the dhcpcd server on that server (which I don't need anyway, and which probably should have been stopped long ago).
My LAN has a raspberry pi 4 running their debian firmware that is configured as a VPN gateway. It connects my LAN via ProtonVPN to the internet. This gateway is set up with a static IP address (192.168.2.49) on the LAN, and is configured to use another RPI on my LAN to get its DNS (192.168.2.50).
My one month old running OOS 11 OnePlus8 is rooted with magisk, and I have blocked most of the google stuff from the internet using afwall, and suspended non-essential system services using greenify. When connected to my LAN, the phone has a static IP address (192.168.2.71), has its gateway set to the VPN gateway (192.168.2.49), and its DNS to my local rpi DNS (192.168.2.50).
DHCP on my LAN is provided by my router (192.168.2.1).
WIFI on my LAN is provided by an enterprise-grade tp-link hotspot.
Starting a few days ago, for reasons mysterious, when the phone connects to the LAN, the VPN gateway would promptly go offline. Because I run it headless, I would be forced to reboot it - which made diagnosis a bit of a pain. Finally, I found a log entry on the VPN gateway that informed me that my OnePlus was trying to claim the ip address of the VPN gateway as its own (192.168.2.49) in spite of being set to use 192.168.2.71. This duplicate IP was causing dhcpcd on the VPN gateway to immediately take down its eth0 interface. This would break ALL connectivity because I have wifi on that RPI disabled.
Prior to this problem involving the OnePlus, that RPI had been up continuously for over 400 days, so it should certainly be considered to be reliable at the job it does and almost certainly the problem is with the OnePlus.
So, for some reason the OnePlus is trying to assert its assigned gateway address as its IP rather than the 192.168.2.71 that is set, at least in some packet that it uses to announce itself; once it is connected it works properly (which means the right IP address is being used).
I have deleted, then re-created the wifi connection profile and doing that did not cause the problem to go away.
I have another RPI VPN gateway on my IOT VLAN (192.168.24.0/24). No DHCP is available on the VLAN (a security measure), and I do have a profile for the phone that allows it to connect to the VLAN. It works without issue there, but then dhcpcd has been and remains shut down on that RPI. I suppose I could start dhcpcd on that server and see if the phone then breaks it too. I won't do this unless there is some merit to doing so...if it would help find the basic problem.
As I say, shutting down dhcpcd and blocking all dhcp traffic to/from the LAN VPN gateway mitigated the problem. But that the problem could occur at all says something is wrong, and I'm pretty sure it isn't a problem on my network.
This seems most likely to be a bug in OnePlus firmware, though why it would manifest after a month is a mystery to me. Does anyone have any insight? Or does anyone have any suggestions for another place on XDA where this post might more appropriately be placed?
I was pretty sure no one would have any idea about this. I have mitigated it by turning off dhcpcd on the VPN gateway and I am not inclined to do a deeper dive; I have too much else to do.
