SKTools now has registry editing in SKscheMa, so I can change my wifi network cards IP addrees and config using a script. But I also need to change the Outgoing mail gateway address as I go from work to home.
Does anyone know of a way to do this as this info is not in the registry but in the email.vol.
many thanks for any help, cjb
Alright dudes, thought I'd post this up as it seems to be the most optimal solution for fixing most instances of the "Unable to obtain server assigned IP address." and it doesn't seem to be widely publicised. I chose a new thread as there seems to be so many instances of this issue. Might be an idea to put this in a stickie, or the WiKi.
Change the "EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Basically, the problem is caused by the DHCP IP address assignment timing out, causing the connection to be sometimes dropped (even though an IP address may have originally been acquired without a problem) and hence the error message. Disabling DHCP forces the immediate assignment of the default IP address which doesn't timeout (this has already been detailed on this forum).
Note: This fix retains the internet pass-thru ability of ActiveSync, unlike the other reported solution of disabling "advance network functionality".
I hope this helps some of you out there with this issue.
Or if you dont want to do a registry hack when you can do this:
Settings wireless networks -> network adapters -> Remote-NDIS Host -> use specific IP address:
IP address: 169.254.2.1 <-use these addresses
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 169.254.2.2
Hit OK and that will do it.
ok, so what am I doing wrong?
I have checked my registry, and and value as in post 1 is 0
and I have set the IP address etc as in post 2 and I am still getting this stupid message.
What else can I try?
Any ideas?
thanks
Thanks man!!!
thank you very much....
Nice!
This is awesome. Frustin, I did it without the regedit and the error appears not to be returning. Just go to Settings, R-NDIS on your PPC and put in those numbers. I've been having this error for well over a year!
thanks!!!!!!
you're wonderfull!!!!

I'm using WMDC (Vistax64) and I had same problem with my TouchDiamond.
I solve this after change registry value :
"EnableDHCP" registry key to "0", its located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp
Then do a soft-reset.
Many thank's

hey, i'm wondering if someone can help me out on this.. at work, our wifi requires me to setup a static ip address along with the subnet, dns servers, etc. But everywhere else i need a server assigned address.. its super annoying to have to type it in from scratch each time i need wifi at work.. is there a way to set up an xml file that i just execute that keys the correct stuff in the registry? seems like there is but i can't remember how..

Hi,
Can any body help me in defining gateway address on my imate jasjam. I want to browse internet on my device and without defining gateway address, i am unable to do so.
I've used "wifi profiles" software and defined manual ip, gateway and dns but it is not retreiving gateway settings. At my workplace, there is a dhcp server which is automatically assigning an ip address to my device.
