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).

Are you using Wifi or 3G/Edge? Looks like the problem is with the admin that setup your Wifi.
Well sounds like you are using their DNS servers and someone blocked gmail.
go to opendns.com while tethering to change your settings if you can. You should see a "dashboard" link at the top right of the page.
OpenDNS is an alternative DNS service (normally DNS is provided by the ISP). Wifi-Tether-For-Root by default has OpenDNS hardcoded in as the default DNS (instead of T-Mo's DNS servers). Since all traffic on T-Mo 3G is routed through their central server, regardless of where you are physically, your ip on the internet will appear as coming from a T-Mo data center in Missouri or Kansas or something. Perhaps someone has maliciously set up an OpenDNS account with this ip and locked out gmail.
Edit: I am having no problems getting to gmail using WT4R. My tmo ip was different from the usual though. Perhaps they are load-balancing their US network. Last time I checked, my tmo ip came out in Kansas. This time however, it came out of Rhode Island. Strange, considering I am physically in California.
Could you lookup your internet-side ip address while tethering and see which tmo datacenter you appear to be coming from when your gmail access is restricted?
This is the first time I've ever used wifi tether. Was kinda wierd to see gmail was blocked. Working on setting up an opendns acct now.
Ok....I'm totally lost now. I've got an opendns acct setup. I'm lookin at the dashboard thing, and have no idea what to change to fix this issue?
You are going to want to go here https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/
It should show your current IP in the drop down.
Turn off the filtering and make sure nothing down below is added.

Easy enough to figure out my ip addy....but no idea how to do the rest.
Weird thing though...I signed up fro an opendns acct, browsed around a bit in the dashboard and now gmail works? ~edit~ nvermind, spoke too soon...gmail is blocked again.
For some reason I have a problem wrapping my brain around this kinda stuff.
your ip could have changed

I see my IP under the network tab. Under the settings tab it says "to control your settings, you need to add a network to your account." If I click "add a network" it takes me back to the network tab where my ip is displayed. If I click add network, it says network already exists?
Bleh....
Like i said, T-Mo is likely load balancing across their many gateways. My guess is whoever locked gmail out only did it to one of the gateways. Your best bet is to change the DNS servers away from opendns.

The reason is because only one openvpn account can control a network. Whoever has messed up that tmo gateway has full control of it until that person or openvpn changes the situation.

It might be enough to edit /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf with a text editor and substitute out the DNS values in there with your own DNS. I'll try it out later.

"wifi tether" should update the dnsmasq.conf-file automatically (will take the dns from your 2G/3G-connection) - this was introduced in version 0.95.
Type ... "getprop net.dns1" into terminal ... that should exactly be the nameserver in dnsmasq.conf (after you have started tethering).
Bleh....I need a break from phone tweaking for a bit. Buuurn ouuuut
Works for me
I just got home, tethered just to see if it would affect me too. Not problems at all.

harry_m is right. When I tethered to my G1 via WT4R (ver 0.9.6) and visited opendns.com, it showed the "Start using OpenDNS" button, indicating my currently used DNS was not OpenDNS. I verified that WT4R had fetched the G1's internal DNS setting by checking the dnsmasq.conf:
Code:
$ su
# cat /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf
no-resolv
no-poll
server=10.177.0.34
server=10.176.80.242
I suggest you reinstall WT4R and choose no when it gives you the option to import old settings. This way, it will build your configuration files from scratch (and not use OpenDNS).
I just received a call from the company's network administrator asking what my Xoom was called on the wi-fi network. He had several devices that show up as Android-and then some numbers. We had to identify my tablet and phone by their MAC address. Do you know of a way to change the name that is broadcast? He mentioned the iPads on the network had the usernames associated with them...
Thank you!
Mine actually shows up with no name when I use Softperfect network scanner, however it might show up under the specific model of your Xoom (ie: MZ604 etc), the model will vary by the type of Xoom you have - Wifi/3G etc.
It might help your admin if you go to settings, click about tablet and then to Status; the IP address it lists there should be the internal network IP

Thanks Corallis for the response. We can see it show up its just that it is called Android-XXXX and so is my phone and someone else's. Would be great if we could change that identified to be Android-myname so the IT guys know it is a trusted device (sort of ...) and don't boot me off the network.

Should get you in the right direction. I am looking for a simple way but there doesn't appear to be one unfortunately. I don't see hostname exposed anywhere in the network/wifi configuration, not even if you specify a static ip.

Thanks. A slightly complicated process. Seems like I could do that for my phone since it has a custom ROM but not on the tablet.
Odd there isn't an easier way to name your device.
I'm a network admin, and I recently had this same issue since I needed to find the ip address of my Xoom so I could set a content filter policy for it. I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a way to give the tablet a name (ala iOS devices). Regardless, it wasn't that hard to figure out since the DNS name began with android.... we don't have many of those devices on the network where I work.
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,
It seems that my 1S have a wifi issue.
I can successfully connect to a wifi network, but every 2-3 sec signal is lost, then the wifi icon in the status bar disappears, then it reappears and reconnect and so on.
I am running an unlocked german tmobile (from ebay), SW version 1.77.111.5
Is someone else having the same issue?
I dont have a device which is in that connect-disconnect loop, but it does not hold onto the Wifi signal, it seems to want to fall back to using 3G/HSDPA if it can, and only after a few mins of data on the 3G/HSDPA connection does it attempt to connect to Wifi.
Does you Wifi AP broadcast its SSID? Are there many devices on the same Wifi channel as the one you are using? Use Wifi-Analyser to find out.

It is really annoying, as quite often when I go to refresh email/facebook/twitter/ etc its says cannot update (or whatever app error), but if I wait a few moments again, it works. Really annoying when playing Draw Something, as it interrupts the game!
Any ideas - is it phone, or is it something on my router??

I was having this exact same issue. I went into settings, Wi-Fi, Menu, Advanced, and checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option and ever since I have had no problems.

Ok i think i had the same issue and i read in some threads around and you can try this:
1 - Connect to your wireless network but in settings disable DHCP and assign an manual IP (and you can disable the "best WiFi performance" because it drain lots of battery.
2 - Take out the SIM cover and pull up with care the contact pins for better connection with cover
Now i have a strong wifi signal without drops, before this i was thinking in return back my 1S but not now.
Sorry my bad English
If i help hit the "Thanks"

I decided to attempt this manual configuration as well...and it works great! Very fast login, and my network speed even seems quicker (although it probably isn't, but who knows)?
But I had a few problems along the way, but managed to fix them. Here is what you need to do:
First, before you do this, you need to use any network info app to see what your wifi router gateway is. You can pick an IP number based on that number... [Also, while it is unlikely anyone did this, you should confirm that the router doesn't do any MAC filtering (this just means the router will only connect with specific devices based on their wifi radio unique ID number... it's a overzealous way to prevent someone hacking your router and it prevents any non-authorized device from associating with it).]
Once you get that info, change the setting under wifi connect from DHCP to "Static", and below this, enter the gateway and a IP number based on your gateway... Most routers have NAT configurations that allow ~100 or 255 devices, like 192.68.X.2 thru 192.68.X.255 (or 10.1.X.2 thru 10.1.X.255) where the IP number where X=1 is typically the gateway. So just pick a number where the last number is between ~10 and 50 (just in case your router hasn't allotted the full 255 addresses). This is a good range to choose from because if your router has DHCP on (which is typical), your household probably does not have more than 10 or 11 devices connected at any given time....so you are picking an IP address at the end of this range.... So for instance, if your gateway is 192.68.1.1, pick a static IP address of 192.68.1.11 or 192.68.1.15.
Below this enter "24" for Network Prefix Length.
Below this, it has boxes for DNS servers. I ran into some problems here. I figured that since my wireless router has DNS servers already configured in its settings, I could skip this (it lets you hit connect without entering then). You can try this, and it may work (depending on your router/setup), but when I left them blank, I noticed frequent reconnections and no signal really at all.
In my case I had to enter DNS server addresses. I already had purchased an app called "Set DNS Pro" (there is a free version though) so I used that to select publicly available DNS servers. If you don't want to use the app, you can enter Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or check with your ISP to use theirs (which they prefer because it is easier to keep track of or control your web browsing).
So my takeaway from this was that if you do not enter DNS, you might have problems.

Unfortunately the HTC Titan appears to require a DHCP server allocated IP address.

Forum Search
Forum search is your friend. Just searching for "WP7 static IP" will answer your question, in the negative at that. Maybe WP learns that trick in its next iteration.
Actually, Tango has this feature. For some reason, though, MS decided to not enable it by default, you have to set a key in the registry:

sorry to sound dopey but not sure what you mean, can you expand please?
well, your phone has to be unlocked in order to allow access to the registry. However, Developer unlock and Chevron Unlock do not suffice as they won't allow access to the registry either.
In order to access the registry, your phone needs an interop unlock, wproottools unlock or full unlock.

What's your OS version number?
What about not setting as fixed on the phone and assigning the IP address you want to use every time in the router to the mac address of the phone.
I do this for our IP phones as they seem to do strange things when programmed with a fixed IP address, but if I leave them to DHCP and tell the router to assign the same IP address every time I get the same result but the IP phone is happy

The word for this is "static leases", btw.
Tbh, I would assume people have a valid reason to use static IP adresses, allthough I can not follow it. I use static leases myself, but there might be routers that do not allow assigning static leases.
In such a case, If I wanted to achieve static adresses on certain networked devices (NAS, managed switches, home servers etc.) I would handle it differently:
enable the DHCP Server and statically assign IP Adresses that are not within the IP Range to selected devices.
PS: Static leases have the big advante that you can change your static adresses without needing to access each individual device. Heck, they don't even have to be turned on to manage your IP adresses.
EDIT: more information about static leases can be found here:
