Ok, if you need to connect to a WiFi network with no DHCP service where you are allowed to choose an IP (like your own home network where you want a specific IP), you have to go:
Settings > Connections > WiFi > Wireless Networks > Network Adapters > IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter and there change to Use specific IP address and the like.
But the changes you make there, are valid for all your WiFi connections (since they are network adapter related). If you later need to connect to a public WiFi where you can only get an IP through DHCP, you have to go back and change the setting all over again.
Is there any way/software that can keep these settings per network? Eg. if the network's name is Freenet then use DHCP, if the network's name is Home then use specific IP, DNS, etc.

Hi all,
I live in a property next door to the company i work for, and the network is linked into the apartment. I have a Wireless Network Access Point in my apartment.
The thing is....DHCP is deactivated on the whole network, and everything runs through proxy servers.
To do this, I need to choose the option that my wireless access point (called scanthor) is used to connect to Work right?
Also, I have gone into settings, connections and modified the proxy to be correct. However, where can I set a valid IP address for the connection??
I'm guessing in Network Adaptors setting right? But which one is the wifi card, there seems to be about 5or 6 in there!
Hope someone can help, thanks in advance!!

p.s. Using O2 XDAIIi
Try | Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Network Cards (icon) | Network Adapters (tab) | tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Etherne... | Then check Use specific IP address. You'll need to set values for IP Address, Subnet mask, (most likely 255.255.255.0) and Default gateway. Also be sure to tap Named Servers, and fill in the info there, you'll need a DNS address to access the Internet.
Still not working..... I've set my IP address under tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet Adaptor. Also put in gateways, dns server etc as taken from ipconfig on my desktop work computer.
Then, i have set the wireless network to connect to "Work" and in Network Adaptors, under the box ..my adaptor connects me to...work is selected there also.
Finally, under connections and "My Work Network" I have put the proxy settings in correctly (just Http and socks)
No luck though. Sometimes it works but unbelievably slowly, sometimes nothing...very annoying.
The proxy server is AVM Ken! www.avm.de
Is this the problem?

My router at home does not use DHCP and each computer that connects to it has to have a manuall assigned IP address, i.e. 192.168.1.N
I can't find any documentation in the forum or elsewhere about how to specify this on the T-mo MDA or K-Jam.
Any Gurus out there with the missing piece of the puzzle?
Well - I don't have a wizard and you don't say what OS you're using ... so here's how I do it with my Himalaya:
Start
Settings
Connections
Connections
Advanced
Network Card
You should see a list of network adapators. Select the appropriate one ... in my case it's WLAN ADAPTER. This should bring up the settings dialogue for the card
pretty close on wizard too: start > settings > connections > Network Cards > SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter
Hi,
I have a non-nat network in the office. When I want to connect to the wireless I need to manualy enter the IP address in the network adaptor settings.
When I want to connect at home I have to then go back into the network adaptor settings and set to IP address to automatic.
Does anybody know of any software that remembers these settings and can change them depending on what network you want to connect to?
Thanks
Hey everyone. Well the title says it all. Is it possible to manually type in an IP address to a specific router instead of the phone actually automatically giving me one?? If not, are there any programs that can accomplish this?
thanks
Easy there, you want to enter a fixed IP in your router in the computer? Or you want to select IP in the case of its type in the IP network on your phone?
Depending on the router, it works with DHCP, Auto IP, this is more of the router for WLAN network, it is configured with an IP again, to not be that your network is DHCP, it?
Computer (fixed) -> Router (fixed) + Router (DHCP wlan)
Any wishes?
thanks
If you have the IP of your wireless network, and only enter the track in his case:
Ex: 192.168.0.x
Ja, if your network is DHCP, assigns an IP Auto, and so leave them the phone!
Do not confuse this: If the connection of your home is wireless (radio) you will configure your phone to use the same sign, so you need a wi-fi router
Yes, there is a way to set a static ip on your WM device. All you have to do is go to Settings, Select the Connections tab at the bottom, select WI-FI, Select Network Adapters tab, Make sure "The Internet" is selected from the drop down menu, Select IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible WI-FI Adapter, select Use specific IP Address and fill in the requested info.
I never really thought about it until you asked. i knew there was a way to do it i just never took the time to look at the options.
I hope this helps, if not let me know.
I'm having trouble understanding your question. the phone doesnt specify the IP, if the router has DHCP enabled, then it'll automatically assign the phone the IP. You want it so that when you're on your WLAN, the IP address is fixed? If that's the case, then go into your router's setting and reserve a specific IP that you want your phone to have. All you have to do is input your phone's MAC address into the router's setting with the desirable IP address. The next time you're on WIFI, your phone will have the IP that you assigned.
Hello,
I would like to connect my HD2 to my home WiFi network. The network requires statis ip from each device.
Is there any way to set ip + dns for wireless card in my hd?
This option is not available in HTC's settings. Usually it was simple Start > Settings > Connections and then you were able to pick proper card and do all the tricks.
Thanks in advance for your help.
