So I never had an issue connecting using DHCP. Then I changed my network so everything has a static IP address. I assigned an IP address on my T-Mobile MDA and now it will not connect to the internet. It does however seem to be connected to the wireless router.
When I use IE or Opera it looks for the host then a get an error message. Occasionally it will look up the site and downlaod the webpage but this takes a very long time. Even when I try to connect to my router using the IP address, it does not work therefore its not the DNS entries.
I changed the SDIO adaptor to use a static IP. Should I change one of the other adaptors too?
I have the wireless G hack enabled but even tried with just wireless B.
have u checked and made sure that u have the gateway address inplace? in the connections page check if your proxy server is set up correctly. also make sure ip is within range for the router to use. hope that helps.
Is it possible to have network profiles that are switchable? I have to connect at work with a static IP and it's really annoying to have to type it in each time. There must be some way to switch back and forth between DHCP and Static configurations.

Can we assume that it is not possible to use the same static IP at work and at home. I do even though my laptops etc use DHCP at home to get theirs. My TyTn connects just fine without changing any settings as the settings are stored automatically.

No, the same IP address will not work on both, nor will the gateway or dns settings.
Since I bought the HD2 before 2 month and after 2 Rom upgrade I still have the same Wifi problem. I can connect to my home network and the Router can see the HD2 but I can not connect to the Internet through the Wifi. All other computers and PS3 connect just fine. Ip adress seems also ok.
Please help ?
I did have the same problem a while back, and it occured after I used the wifi router. Have you ever used that, even just to try it?
No I never tried the Wifi Router even once and changed rom twice.

Probably not the same issue then. For some reason I had it trying to give me a static IP address that my router wouldn't allow (I've got MAC forwarding on my router to make sure that nothing other than the 4 things I have can connect to it).
When you connect to the wifi, can you open the router admin on your HD2?
Thanks for your help. No I cannot access the router from the HD2, could it be a proxy issue. I am not using a proxy for the internet

No worries mate - I hope I can help!
It's not a proxy issue, if you're not using a proxy server. Could you try this and let me know how you get on?
Start your wifi connection
Go to all settings, connection, wifi, wireless networks, network adapters tab
Select the Broadcom DHD adapter
It should be set to use a server assigned IP address, not a static one. It probably is, but it's worth checking.
When I open Wifi settings I can only open advanced no wireless networks or network adapter tab. How do I get there ?

After you've started wifi, go to the settings tab, menu and all settings. Then carry on the instructions in the last post.
Found the all settings, the DHD adapter is set to server assigned. Any other ideas ?
...
Well i think we have the same problem.. If you try to connect your wireless, do you get the failure after pressing get IP: Cannot obtain serverassigned IP....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627654 my thread was this..
I found out that if i you go under WIFI>ADVANCED>press on the NETWORKCARD under the field "SSID"> then go to the networkcard>Broadcom 802.11 DHD network adapter>remove the pin in use serverassigned, and write a static ip: example: IP: 192.168.1.23
UNDERMASK: 255.255.255.0
STANDARDgateway: 192.168.1.1
That helped for me, though i cannot use that fix because my college wont accept the static IP. so it works for like 2 mins and then it disconnect. hehe.
Heh - that would be pretty much my next suggestion.
Try a static IP address and see if that works. It's not a long-term solution, but it would determine whether it's your phone or the router that's having the problem.
Last time I set a static IP address, I liked it and left it like that, but I found (after a couple of days with no internet access) that it tries to assign the same IP address when you use your data connection for internet access. Your service provider is very unlikely to allow you to use the same IP address, so you probably can't connect.
Like I said, it's a test to see if you can connect - not a solution.
Do you know what IP addresses your router will allow you to use? Do you have a specified range of addresses, for example?
I have this exact same problem. I can connect to wifi networks at home, office, etc... But no network access. It connects to the AP's, gives me an IP Address, but I can't ping anything!
This thing gets more and more frustrating daily.

It also happened to me. Turns out it was the router I was using. I bought a new one earlier today and problem solved!
Hi!
I got a d-link dgl-4300 router, and had problem getting a IP adr. from it. When I gave my HD2 a static IP it worked, but very slow. After I changed from DHD network adapter to NE 2000 compatible ethernet driver it get IP from router and I can browse internet through wifi fast. Maybe it can help u 2.
regards Xes.
Hi.
I need about a software, that allow to set multiple WIFI profiles, because in my home i need to SET MANUALY HD2 WIFI with net adress (192.168.1.1 etc.), but when i go out, i need to catch FREE WIFI SPOT so i need to set rapidly WIFI Configuration with AUTO IP (and when i'm at home, return to Manual Adress).
I had tried WIFI Profiles, but i can't understand how i can put AUTO IP ADRESS there.
Please help me !
Compliments for great site !
There is a program called Wifi Monster, have not explored it a lot, but sounds like it might do what you want ...
Just search for it ....
Hope it helps ...
i'm curious about why you have to use a static IP for your HD2 at home. you can set your home router for DHCP (just like the rest of the WIFI hot spots you like to connect to). if assigning a specific IP to your HD2 or to other machines on your network is important, why not use "static DHCP"? static DHCP is configured in your router and will ensure that each device gets the same IP address every time.
i have configured my home router so that 10 IP addresses are available for machines. the first 5 IP addresses are assigned to specific machines using static DHCP. the rest of the slots are available for guests and friends who occasionally bring their laptops/smartphones to my place and need to get on my network. the router works intelligently by reserving the static DHCP IP addresses only for my specified machines and uses the rest dynamically for unspecified machines.
on top of all this, i have MAC address filtering to keep a tight ship.

Maybe he needs a static IP for Work, some places still use statics ....
Thanks ASCIIker & WATCHER64
I'll try all your suggestions, however the first work fine, i'll fix MANUAL ADRESS on DHCP and put AUTO on HD2.
All work fine now, but i'll try also WIFI Monster when i need only MANUAL ADRESS on my ROUTER.
Thanks to ALL !
Hi everyone,
At my parents' place, there is a wifi extender in my room.
Every possible electronic I have is able to connect to it, except my s10+ for some reason.
My uncle has the same phone and for him, it works fine.
Everywhere else where I connect to wifi it works, its just this specific router.
I get an error message saying "Couldn't get IP address
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how I can fix this?
Maybe they have static IP only enabled on their WiFi. Mine requires me to program one in (within range of addresses) or you have static enabled and one of their devices is using that IP.
Use his device to see the config (settings>wifi>tap hold on connection to wifi name>modify or view if available. Type the same into yours but change the last part of the IP (ie. 192.168.6.88 change the 88 to 193. Any number under 254 higher the better chance of it being free. Use the same info as theirs. )
IE
IP 192.168.6.193
Gateway 192.168.6.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (whatever theirs is)
DNS 1 is 75.75.75.75 or whatever theirs is
DNS 2 is. 75.75.76.76 or whatever theirs is
If that fails then reboot their router and use WPS (Google it got your phone model. Should be settings>wifi> 3 for menu top right somewhere in there as WPS Setup)
