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..

CANNOT CONNECT TO WIRELESS ROUTER
I own an unlocked Siemens SX66 with Windows Mobile 6.5 installed. I had no problems with it but recently I cannot connect to my home wireless network or to any other wireless connection. I went in to "Settings" and clicked on "Configure Network Adaptors" to check the "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet" setup and saw the following settings:
The "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and on the IP address column this information was entered and cannot be edited..
IP address: fe80::209:2dff:fe1
I tried to delete it but like I said, it cannot be edited or deleted. Is there any way I can take this out? I believe this is the reason why I cannot connect to my wireless router at home since my router cannot assign an IP address to it.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion that you can pass on to me
Where do I set the LAN (WiFi) Computer name in the Captivate. My router has functions that require either the host name or the IP address of the host. Using the host name for DHCP clients makes it a lot easier to configure some of these settings. The way I'm currently doing it by reserving an IP address for the MAC address of the Captivate WiFi NIC.
I can see where the host name can be changed for Bluetooth, but not for WiFi.
Good question, I dont know. So far from what I've seen when looking in my wifi router while connected, the phone doesnt have a "name". The name field is just blank, all it shows me is the mac address of the phone, and the IP address assigned to the phone.
I've looked under wifi settings and advanced wifi settings and dont see anything.
Hi all,
I recently purchased this and was attempting to set it up so I can remotely access my PC, using these tutorials:
http://support-remote.splashtop.com...er-outside-from-home-via-remote-network-or-3g
http://support-remote.splashtop.com...sys-wireless-g-broadband-router-as-an-example
And I'm a bit confused. On the page where I set up my router (Netgear WRN2000), I have the ports set up correctly, but the app will not connect. I googled an open port checker, and it says "connection refused". I could very well be using the wrong IP address, as it says in the second tutorial "If it starts with 192 or 10, you need to find the externel." it says you can use whatsmyip, but using that doesn't produce any results either.. does anyone have any ideas? If I'm being too vague please let me know I can try and explain a little more.
Yes, IP addresses starting from 192 and 10 are local area network (LAN) IPs, they are only valid inside the same network. For example in a home environment your router may have an internal IP like 192. 168.1.1 while all computers connected to that router will have IPs like 192.168.1.2 and up. These IPs uniquely identifies all the devices connected to your home router, therefore you can use it to connect to any computer on your home network with your tablet when you are at home (connected to your home router). However, your router will also get one external IP starting with a number other than 192 , 172 or 10. This uniquely identifies your router inside whole of the internet. So if you want to connect to your computer from a remote location (outside home) you need to connect to that external IP. You can find this external IP by going to a site like http://www.whatsmyip.org from your home computer.
This is all you have to do:
Forward 6783 on your home router to the correct LAN ip of the PC you want to connect to
find out the external IP of your router by going to www.whatsmyip.org from the home PC you want to connect to .
Add a new PC in splashtop (android app) with the external IP.
P.S: Most home internet connections have dynamic external IPs; this means the external IP can change from time to time whenever your router is restarted or if you lose the connection to your ISP for some reason. However you can use a dynamic DNS service to assign a name like joshnichols189.dyndns-at-home.com instead of always trying to find out the correct external IP of your home network. If you are interested in getting a Dynamic DNS name like that go to http://www.dyndns.com
Hi,
Could you send me link where I can download
App which can change IP address if exist?
Thanks
if you need to change the adress of your Wifi connection, simply go to your wifi settings, do a long press on the network and select "edit". Here you can change the IP Adress.
No, I need to configure manualy IP address because WIFI AP doesnt give IP addresses and I am not administrator of this AP and its company wifi.
Exist this program ?
you should be able to connect to the Wifi AP. Once done, it should either provide you with an IP via DHCP, or if this is indeed disabled as you say a zeroconf ip. If it's DHCP you don't seem to be able to modify the IP, but for zeroconf:
select the wifi network in your wifi setting, press and hold it, select "edit". Right under "proxy on/off" you should be able to edit your IP Adress, subnet mask and gateway adress as well as your DNS Servers.

Your advice it's nice bul****. If you are connected to wifi
you can allow only proxy server if you edit selected
wifi network and nothing else.
I ment program which allows me change ip address before
I log to wifi network.
I hope thats clear.

No its not clear man ...
Why you want to change the ip of your phone to a static one for all networks yoy log in...
When your phone finds the network you want to log in connect to the net providing the password ... then after connecting and not haviing an ip address, keep the name of the network pressed with your finger and there you can change the ip address..
Did you try this yourself?

Did you try this yourself, and it worked? If yes, I wonder big time because that's exactly what did not work for me and my HTC Radar at my home Wifi network: Without a DHCP server running on the Access Point (no need for, only static IP addresses in use) the phone did not connect, just hang for a minute or so and then timed out. Only after I activated a DHCP server to dish out an IP to the phone it connected.

suppose(and this case is real in my case and applies to me..) u r not the admin of wifi router(u r nt connection owner) and u r in ur school and u want to connect to school wifi..but the router connects to only a limited set of ips..network admin has disabled dhcp server as in my ase..without preconfiguring the ip address before connection, u cant connect to ap..thats tragedy..dont think, oh i have never undergone such circumstances and ur network admin is a jack***..i know but i am helpless in this situation..all my classmates and my seniors are android device owners..so network admin doesn't change all settings just for helping a single person(at least in india..they ll ask u to use internet through library computers like dumbasses..)
THIS SUBSTANTIATES THE NECESSITY OF A FEATURE WHICH ALLOWS U TO SET A STATIC IP BEFORE LOGGING INTO ACCESS POINT..
also this feature helps to prevent all the little more work consuming process of logging into router, assigning static ip to ur device, and getting the static ip on device from router itself(but still thats DHCP only)..
Try Hotspot Switch IP. Is a free android app which allows you to change IP automatically by timer, remotely via web server, and also you can do it in app. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hotspot.wifi.change.ip&pli=1
