hi, is there any app which is able to switch different ip address and DNS for different wifi AP? I have fixed IP at home and then when i try to connect to any other, i have to delete fixed IP settings and when back home write it back.
tried google but no luck
thanks
so as i see, there is propably no app
I tried this too, and found the exact same problem. I know of no way to save different "profiles" for wifi settings.
The solution I found is to have IP address reservation enabled on my router, and to use the MAC address of my phone so that it is always assigned the same IP address.
Same result - just a different way of doing it. It does, however, mean I can have wifi settings for multiple places now.
have you guys tried wifiprofiles?

I have a problem with several Android phones, in that I need to change the Exchange server name. They have all worked fine externally over 3G as the server name they seem to have been set up with (e.g. domain.com) resolves to the external IP address of the network, which serves Exchange and web servers etc.
However we now need to connect them internally via a WiFi network but on the internal network the web servers and Exchange are on different servers, so domain.com resolves to the web servers and mail.domain.com resolves to Exchange. As mail.domain.com also resolves to the same IP as domain.com externally, they should have been set up with mail.domain.com from the start, but only now we are needing to connect via WiFi is the problem showing up.
Anyway, long explanation, short question: how do I change the server name, as from the Edit Account screen the Server Address box is greyed out?
I've posted this over at the Rhodium Thread located here:

but haven't gotten a single response yet. Since this is a concern for more than one device I feel like I should post it here. Mods feel free to move this to the correct location if need be.
===================
So it seems to me that this is a problem on ALL Android devices that I have tested with. Here's the situation
I have a router in my house in which I have DHCP turned off so my device will grab an IP (Not Static) and DNS from the ISP. I need to find a way to be able to just change the DNS Settings to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 on android without having to manually put in an IP since the IP will automatically get changed every few day's.
Android doesn't seem to let me do that. Does anyone know how? Going into the Advance Menu in the Wifi settings and changing the dns does not actually change anything... I noticed this on the following android devices as well: Moto Cliq, MyTouch 3g, old Kaiser running android on NAND, and my Rhodium Devices running android.
Any reason as to why Android isn't updating my DNS Settings? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so DHCP is assigning your network config, but you want to use different DNS servers than the DHCP allocated ones?

On my HTC Hero running an Android 2.1 ROM, unless "Static IP" is selected, I dont even get the option to change the DNS servers (option is greyed-out).
One way to manually change DNS is via shell if you have root access on your phone using ADB shell (or ssh, telnet etc if your ROM supports them), see this thread [Q] Help! Changing DNS settings .
Any network config tools on the app store?

I'm confused by your question. If you have DHCP turned off your device's are not going to grab an IP address from your router. Why don't you turn on DHCP and let your router assign IP addresses. As doing so your devices will also use the DNS setting from the router which will be your ISP's DNS ip address. Unless you change your DNS settings in your router to one of the many public DNS servers available. My recommendation is turn DHCP to "ON" on your router. Maybe start your DHCP IP assignment at 192.168.1.100 and go up to 150. That way you can use the range from .2 to .99 for static IP's. This is how I configured my router but I'm also using DD-WRT firmware on my router which highly customizes the router. Alternately you can change your routers DNS ip setting to Open DNS server so there would be no need for you to change it on the phone if you are using WIFI. Just let your router do all that work for you. Hope this helps. Viva Santiago Rep Dom y NYC.
Hi there,
I'm currently searching for a registry entry or hosts file on WP7. I know there are some registry keys for DNS on Windows Mobile 6.5, due to its support for multiple network devices (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916390.aspx). But if I'm looking at my HD7 with Advancedexplorer, I couldn't find any of these keys.
Only interesting infos where in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident, but I'm aiming for the keys or file where WP7 will keep its setting it gets from DHCP while it is connected via WLAN.
AFAIK there is no possible way to manually edit the network settings, so I'll always have to use DHCP. Do someone of you know the location of this information?
Oh, I see my post was moved to Q&A? Thought it would be more a hacking/development problem to find the right file/registry key? Is it possible to move the post back to its original area?
Ok, after digging, I found finally the location for the Wifi Interface settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms\Tcpip
I'm currently not connected to a Wlan, but will recheck at home if there is a value for DNS or device IP
Little Update: if the phone is connected to Wlan, you will get more options beginnen with DHCP I think. So its no problem to change the DNS, but it will only last until the phone reconnects. The values will be overwritten. If you enter a wrong non working DNS, the phone will resort to your providers DNS.
Hi,
exist some HOMEBREW app which can let me change the IP address ?
Somebody told me that it exist.
Thanks.
Well, you can easily specify your own IP address for WiFi networks. That's built into the phone.
For the cellular network... I'm not aware of a way, though it probably does exist. I'm not sure anybody has coded it as a WP7 app, though.
Why do you need to do this? Your IP address quite probably changes every time you reboot your phone; why do you need it to be a constant value?

For me this threat is also interested. And why would be practice to be able to put static IP address is simple, what to do when you want to connect in WIFI environment where is no DHCP.
Or let say ISP, give you STB with WLAN on which is not enabled DHCP.
Cheers.
As I said, specifying your own IP address is easy on WiFi (specifically for networks without DHCP). Open the WiFi settings page, press-and-hold on a network, and select Edit. If you connect to a network that doesn't have DHCP, it should prompt you for the settings when you first connect.

My friend, this what you are wrote is written in user manual which I am get with my optimus 7. There is also written that is procedure for connecting on hidden network is press-and-hold on any wlan net and change the name according with hidden net and I could not reach hidden net until I am receive latest fw(few days ago) and I have optimus 7 almost nine month.
In any case, what you are wrote not applies for optimus 7, maybe for some other phone apply, but not for optimus 7, at least with OPN Firmware.
Cheers.
Ah... I don't have an LG phone, so if there's some weird quirk to their WiFi drivers, I can't help you with that. Sorry. :-(
JosipoGo, have you connected your phone to Zune and done updates that way? Go to Settings=> about phone and tell us what version of OS you have.
I am thinking you may be running NoDo on your phone, as anything with Mango or above should have the ability to change IP address. Yes, your shipping firmware (if it is NoDo version) may not have this feature, and it wouldn't be on your phones manual if that is the case.
If you have never done system updates, you should be able to add this feature by preforming the Zune update (if an update is available for your phone).
I normally set an IP address to all my wireless devices in my router's settings. Upon configuring my N20U5G I immediately checked on its WIFi MAC address so that I can manually set an IP address through my router. Lo and behold, my Asus RT-AX88U registered a different MAC address for the phone.
Have you guys checked if the same is true to yours?

A setting you might find valuable.

Thanks! I actually found it out when I toyed around the phone before going back to this thread. Not having a Samsung phone for a while really gives me something to learn about this phone daily. Cheers!
