US Netflix Nexus Player IP Settings not valid - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was having problems with this earlier but someone on reddit helped me fix the problem. Where it asks for network prefix length don't put for example "255.255.255.0" put the actually "24", the shorter version.
Here is a full guide:
Go to a PC on your network, open a command prompt and run the command "ipconfig" then use that to enter the following. Keep in mind I've never used the nexus player...
IP address: Whatever your computer returned as it's IP, add 10 to the last number. So if it said 192.168.0.13, enter 192.168.0.23 in the nexus player. If you have trouble with this, try another number close to these, only changing the very last bit, which should be kept lower than 255.
Gateway: enter exactly what IPCONFIG returned for Default Gateway
network prefix length: I would've expected subnet mask here. If it allows you to enter another IP, try entering the value that IPCONFIG returned for Subnet Mask. If it wants a small number try 24 or /24. (24 corresponds to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, if you have a different mask, post it here)
DNS 1 and 2: enter the IP's given by whatever DNS service you are using. There should always be 2. If you only know the first one, check with them and get the second IP.
Keep in mind that it could take up to a day to take affect.

Please can someone read me default IP settings

When I plug my JasJar into my PC, I get a message "Pocket PC Networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in network settings"
Please could someone with a JasJar go to Settings>ConnectionsNetwork Cards and tell me if every adaptor is set to "Use server assigned IP address" EXCEPT "Remote-NDIS Host" which is set to server assigned, but has an IP address in the lower box.
If yours is any different, please tell me what's different so I can fix mine up.
Everything set to be Obtain Automatically only... I changed only DNS entry for WLan NE2000 card.. rest all left as automatically updatin...
thanks dude!

[Q] [B]Static IP for Tab/[B]

Can someone please post a step by step procedure for putting a static IP into
my Tab 500?
instructions for static IP relevant on my tab version, android 3.1 (4.010.11_COM_GEN2):
open up wifi networks and settings. Find your network you wish to connect to and long hold it. Select Modify Network. Select IP Settings drop down and change from DHCP to Static. Scroll down again and type in your own IP addressing schema for the IP address and Gateway. Don't forget to add a network prefix length, even if you simply type in the suggested 24. I recommend using your ISP's DNS servers unless you are trying to use DNS for filtering and protection (such as opendns).

Thanks for prompt reply. What does 'long hold" mean? My Tab does not ever get
an IP assigned to it by DHCP, so I want to try a static IP to get wi fi working.
I will try your procedure when I get home from work today and will post results.
You're welcome. By long hold, i simply mean to tap the setting and hold it for a moment rather than let go right away. I am sure there is an official term for that, it just escapes me at the moment.

Thanks again. I'll try a Factory Reset first. Then, if that doesn't work, I will try a static IP address.
Problem solved. Static IP not required.
I tried the Factory Reset from the settings menu. It took a few minutes to reset and reboot. A s soon as I went to the Wi-Fi settings, it found my router, got great signal strength, and was asked for my password. It then connected immediately.
I then went to settings, and looked for any updates. It found the latest update, so I downloaded and installed OS v3.1. It took about 1 hour to complete the download and installation. My tab works great now. I could not be more pleased with it.
Many thanks to all on this forum and elsewhere who contributed their suggestions and advice.

Clearwire Ubee Atlas Stick / Freedompop

Has anyone been able to get Clearwire / Freedompops 4G USB Stick to work in any rom?
It supposedly is compatible with android under with RNDIS or CDC support. Plugging it in, my a500 recognizes it and asks to start PPPWidget, however PPP widget does not find a driver. Model is the ubee atlas usb stick.
Under terminal emulator I've tried:
dhcpcd eth0
netset.eth0.dns1 208.67.222.222
ifconfig displays eth0 with a MAC address matching my stick and an IP address, but I've got no connection in browser.
This is under the latest flexreaper rom.
hey gtjeffc,
i got my ubee stick just today from freedompop, and all i had to do was run 'dhclient eth1'
there's a web interface available for the modem at 192.168.14.1
also, this was in my resolv.conf:
search clearwire-wmx.net
nameserver 192.168.14.1
nameserver 66.233.172.12
nameserver 75.94.255.12

Excellent news. Did you need superuser permission to run it? I will try it when I get home - hopefully it will work and we can put in a script that will run when the modem is detected to auto-run when it's inserted in the USB port.

Ok, got it to work. At first I could only get to 192.168.14.1, until I added another interface in dhcpcd.conf. I set the ubee stick to NAT mode as well.
It works, but not all applications recognize that there is a network connection (Play, Maps).
What ROM are you using?
Let me get this straight. Freedompop now runs on Android tablets and if so has anyone cloned to Android phones yet by using the MAC Address. I know there's a Iphone sleeve but I'd like to reduce the carrying load.

What ROM are you on? I tried in on one of the jellytime builds and I can get to the management interface but in NAT mode it looks like dns requests are never fulfilled despite having dhcpcd entries and resolv.conf entries.
---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
sidenote, I just tried to access google directly via ip and it worked, check my ip and its the stick's ip.. so something is wrong with the dns settings of the stick.
Okay, manually setting the ip works I did both
setprop net.eth0.dns1 x.x.x.x
and
setprop net.dns1 x.x.x.x
and it worked after the second one, so I'm not sure if the first is needed. Now to figure out a way to automatically run dhcpcd eth0 when the usb is inserted..
UBee Stick PXU1964 4G - noobe trying to get it working
Hey There hoping for a little direction.
I tried PPPWidget on my Acer A500 rooted with JellyTime+ Ver. 4.1.2. I have a 4G dongle from Freedompop it's a Ubee Stick PXU1964.
Plugging in the stick It seams to lock and get 2 bars of signal. The Widget recognizes its plugged in but then says "no drivers". The Widget directory shows no files in any of folders - cfg,lib or log I don't know if that is normal or not.
Using the Terminal emulator I was able to get to the stick and in the browser display the setup screen. But I still can't get to the net.
Anyone get any further??
Any help would be appreciated sure would like to get this working.:good:
Here is what I have done so far:
on tablet launch terminal prgm
type: su "rtn"
type: netcfg (check eth0 or eth1or usb0 or usb1 is up; if down do next step)
type: ifconfig eth0 up
type: dhcpcd eth0
type: setprop dns1 66.233.127.12 (or use whatever DNS server you wish)
type: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 (just picked this ip)
Launch browser go to stick setup adr (192,168.14.1) - displays Ubee Stick setup screen
try google.com says not connected
Update: March 7,2013
YAHOOOO Success~~
I have successfully been able to repeatedly connect to the FreedomPop 4G network with my A500 and JellyTime (JellyBean Spinoff Custom ROM). And also I have optimized the process to just 4 steps and it does not require any connections to a PC or other device.
This requires the tablet be Rooted.
Plug in your FreedomPop Ubee Stick PXU1964 USB 4G Dongle - should work with any dongle though
Launch your Terminal emulator.
Check to see if the Dongle green light stays on indicating it has acquired a signal and that
you have some bars of signal.
At the prompt
type: su ( To invoke super user access)
type: Ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 ( Can be any IP address you choose (You can type: netcfg to confirm the Dongle is seen by the Tablet)
type: dhcpcd eth0 ( Wait for lease to complete and next prompt.)
type: setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 (use any dns server - I used Google's free dns server or 8.8.4.4 also Google)
Thats all there is to it.
You can check things are setup correctly by:
typing: netcfg
It will reply with all connected devices and eth0 will show the IP address and port - mine was 192.168.1.12/24 and reading
further it shows the MAC address of the Dongle.
Launch your favorite browser and input 192.168.14.1 (for the FreedomPop PXU1964) for the URL or what ever URL is required by your device.
The FreedomPop setup screen should appear. Click on Network about center screen and it should show how many bytes transferred.
Click on the Advanced Link and insure it's set to NAT Mode.
Open another browser window and select your favorite Web Site URL and it should come up!
Happy 4g browsing!!!!! Seems to work pretty good even with one or two bars although the download is fastest when all the bars are lite and
the signal to noise ratio is at its best......
Next project is to script this process and automate it - unfortunately I don't know how to do that so I have some studying to do before I can ----
That is unless someone takes pity on me and points me in the right direction.... Any takers to help an old man? (;>
Thanx in advance.....

Within a couple of days of my last post I found out how to automate the process above. It is actually very simple. It would have been nice if someone would have thrown a dog bone as it would have only taken a couple of minutes. Guess nobody ever looks at these old posts?? Anyway If your trying to connect try this it might work.
Download SManager and SMWidgets from the Google Play Store - the free version(s) works fine or you can use any Text Editor although SManager ads is really nice for making scripts. SMWidgets is needed to make the widget and generate the Icon to launch your application from the Home Screen.
Launch SManager access the tool bar and select "New Script" Enter a filename, I choose FreedomPop.sh - Notice the ( .SH) that tells android it is a script - similar to .bat in DOS.
Enter the filename and press ok. SManager responds with "Open With..." and provides options for editing. Choose SM Editor or a text editor.
After the line: #!/system/bin.sh
type: Ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 ( Can be any IP address you choose) Optional -You can type: netcfg to confirm the Dongle is seen by the Tablet
type: dhcpcd eth0 ( Wait for lease to complete and next prompt.)
type: setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 (use any dns server - I used Google's free dns server or 8.8.4.4 also Google)
Select save or back out to the file screen, it will ask if you wish to save your work. Say yes. Find your script in the listing and press and hold until the menu comes up. Select (Open as...) and Open As... Script/Executable.
On the 3rd Line select the "SU" icon.
On the default (4th Line)make sure to select "Is script".
At this point you can change the Alias which should contain the script name you choose.
Save your work.
Hit run to test out your script.
Lastly grab the SMWidgets icon from the widgets icons screen and move it to an available space on your home screen. It will launch and select
"Add one script widget" Select your script and it will create a quick launch Icon that will launch your script.
Good Luck!
Thank you!
Dude thank you very much on this useful tutorial. I bought the freedompop stick and when I plugged it in, it was not working and I thought it is just another waste of my money....until I ended up with your tutorial. Thanks a lot, and you method worked on my rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (stock rom).:highfive:

Hi PBates123,
I followed your direction and successfully put the eth0 ip as 192.168.1.12. eth0 is up. However, every time I run dhcpcd eth0, it say "using IPv4LL 169.254.109.250" I cannot get to 192.168.14.1, nor the internet.
I notice that the MAC id show in eth0 and my stick MAC id is different by only the last digit, it's 9 instead of 7. Is this normal ? Also, do you suppose to be able to browser the content of your usb freedom stick? Since mine seems not to be mounted.
I also have the Freedompop Ubee Stick PXU1964. My android tablet is Curtis KLu LT7033.
Any help would be appreciated. I have gotten this far and went through a great pain to successfully root my Klu tablet...

[Q] Has Anyone Got a DNS Service Working Yet?

Hello,
I'm trying to set up USAccess on my Nexus Player. As there are no existing guides, I've just been using standard Android guides. So far, I am unable to connect to the internet after changing my DNS settings. I've been searching endlessly and have only found questions regarding this topic before the Nexus Player was released.
I
I tested on my NP both by changing the DNS settings on the device and at the router level and did not have any luck connecting to Netflix on either. With the DNS set on the device, the internet connection wouldn't work on any app but when I changed it on the router, apps worked (Play store for example) but Netflix wouldn't connect.
I wonder if it is similar to the Chromecast where the DNS settings are hardcoded and you need to set up some modifications on your router (or have root access to make the necessary changes).
My suggestion would be to open a ticket with USAccess and they may be able to assist/verify that everything is configured correctly.
Setting DNS on my router works for me for accessing Australian content from the states. So this seems to be a netflix specific thing.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I'm in Canada and Netflix usa works fine for me (go to settings in Netflix and under member if it says US then it should be working) I use unblockus I have my dns settings changed on the router. Now just need a way for the nexus player to load the usa play store, this has always been tricky on Android. Worst case I will sideload Hulu for the time being.
I'm also up in Canada, and I was able to use unotelly's DNS to access Netflix US. I did notice that after changing the DNS settings on the player itself, I couldn't connect to anything until I changed the language setting in the settings app to us English (instead of Canadian), and although everything is connecting now, I've lost the recommendations bar (it just says recommendations are not available right now)
So far USAccess.ca is not working here either. Going to need to do more digging and see what the device is actually trying to do!
I am also up in Canada and I use AdFreeTime DNS service, however I cannot get Netflix to work. When I change the DNS addresses on my router to AdFreeTime, Netflix throws an -100 connection error, but everything else connects fine. I am re-routing google's dns services 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to AdFreeTime DNS servers through iptables on my Asus router. Maybe that's an issue?
Can someone from Canada who has Netflix US working post exactly how they got Netflix to connect properly? Thank you.
I just got usaccess.ca working... It turns out I think my version of DD-WRT had some dnsmasq issues (even with strict-order enabled). I flashed a newer release of DD-WRT so i could get tcpdump working and when i finally went to capture the traffic, low and behold netflix was working with the US DNS servers set in dnsmasq. I could even watch US content
Now i just need to find that Hulu Plus .apk!!!

As a followup: I got Netflix US content working properly on the NP by setting my router to my US dsn services, but I had to disable routing the google dns servers to my AdFreeTime dns servers (which I was doing through an iptables script on my custom Asus AC68U router.) This kind of blows as routing google dns to US dns services such as AdFreeTime, Unblock US, etc was the only way to make the Chromecast work with US Netflix and other services from Canada.
There has to be a way to keep those pesky google dns services built in to Chromecast and the Nexus Player routed to unblocked US dns services without messing up Netflix on the NP.
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
The Nexus Player doesn't have hard coded DNS servers. I was able to change my WIFI connection from DNS to STATIC; enter in static, gateway, and DNS (USAccess) IPs and a day later, the settings took and my Netflix region change to US EN.

I'm trying to set up USAccess on my Nexus Player. As there are no existing guides, I've just been using standard Android guides. So far, I am unable to connect to the internet after changing my DNS settings. I've been searching endlessly and have only found questions regarding this topic before the Nexus Player was released.

+1 for this problem, I get the error -100, using USAccess. Have tried setting a static profile with USAccess DNS and with the IP's on my router. Works fine on my Amazon Fire TV but not the Nexus Player.
I had the same problem with usaccess, so I used the trial of unotelly to compare. unotelly works perfectly including displaying the US play store. Could be worth the extra expense, i have 7 days left to decide .
So following this:

USAccess is still not working for you?
I'm using 107.20.195.51 not their new region switching DNS IP.

Everyone has a different home network setup. So, I'll try to help you out.
Go to:
Settings
Network
Wi-Fi Connected
Pick your current Wi-Fi connection
Status info
Write down the IP address
e.g 192.168.2.23
When you go back to your Advanced settings, use the following:
IP address = IP address you wrote down from above (e.g. 192.168.2.23)
Gateway = You will have to figure out. It is usually the first three sets of numbers from your IP address and .1
So, from my example, Gateway = 192.168.2.1
Network prefix length = 24
DNS 1 = Enter in your DNS IP
DNS 2 = Use your secondary DNS IP
I use USAccess so my numbers are
Primary DNS: 107.20.195.51 Secondary DNS: 107.20.190.171
Hit next and you should see settings saved message.

I have done this, tried three different wifi networks, both with and without USAccess. I'm starting to think there is something with Netflix that it just won't work in Sweden.
Hasn't anyone who previously had the -100 error been able to resolve it?
Does anyone know what the netflix app is trying to do when we get the -100 error? I would like to find this out so I can tell my ISP about it as they offer their own DNS redirection service so we can get access to things like netflix in the USA.
I have 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 redirected to a fake IP so that those addresses timeout at the router, but netflix will still not load unless I put unotelly's DNS directly on the NP. My roku on the other hand works without putting unotelly's DNS settings.

Static IP address

We are working with USB over Ethernet device. When we plug it into the phone, Android tries to use DHCP to get an IP address. We want to turn this off for our device.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,

haven't used android in few years.... but ...what comes to mind.
1. simplest is 'within android of course, the 'network settings. within the settings, 'hopefully would be a 'manual field 'ip address editable. (sometimes ' non editable,' dhcp, with a 'check box,' which then makes the field editable)
or additionally, a '2nd available below for static manual inputs.
2. since your 'attempting Ethernet, ' seems you may be on a 'router,' if that's the case, you could initiate within the 'router's settings, 'go to the 'port forwarding fields,' manually assign the physical port, for use, and assign it to port forward to the 'static address,' (much of such settings have become standard editable on equipment within the last10 or so years.
hope success to you.
Thanks for the reply.
