Hi guys ..
How can i set a static ip in WP7 on HD2 ??
currently not possible
holy crap thanks for the reminder! as i kept thinking something was missing.
iphones (no matter how simple) could do it, and here I was thinking Microsoft is the king of networking....
Actually if you really want static IP, you can "push" to it. If you find out your wlan MAC address, use your router to assign only the IP which you select.
To find out your MAC address is simple: connect your phone to wifi, connect to router and see n the logs (even the dumiest routers keeps logs of what wifi cards are connected to it)
Just a small idea....

Yeah my router thinks there are 5 mac addresses logged onto its wifi, but each time wp7 has reset its created a new mac.

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.
Hello,
When looking in the wifi options of my HD2 I saw an option to set a static IP adres with dns etc.
Since I use static IP addresses at home and DHCP disabled, I set it up with a static IP. Works fine...at home. When I was at work I wanted to connect to the wifi there, but was unable to do so, probably because he was trying to use the static IP from home...
Why isn't the HD2 switching between these connections/IP settings?....
If this is not possible, why did they implement the option for a static IP on a mobile phone?
Ty
Just like on your laptop, if you assign a static IP it will keep it even if you move to work and connect there. You have to remove it manually to switch back to DHCP. Nothing uncommon.

Uhm didn't you give the answer? To connect to a network that has no DHCP...
I mean something as network profiles for each wireless network.
For example on my previous phone, a Samsung Jet, when I looked for wireless networks, I could set up everything for each different network he found.
Meaning when I selected my wifi from home he used the settings with the static IP from that profile, and when I was at work he selected the wireless profile with a DHCP IP from work.
Now I only have 1 set of options regardless of where I want to connect.
A static IP is not really "mobile" friendly to
There's nothing to do that by default in WM.
Seems theres an app for it though:

Well, add a DHCP server at home
The static IP address is a setting for the network card, as you well know. The network card does not change just because you go to a different location. Also, due to a bug with Windows Mobile, you may want to forget about using a static IP address. I don't know about 6.5, but with 6.1 it caused my data connection to try and use the same IP address, which was obviously an issue with my service provider, who just refused the connection every time. I was without a data connection for a day, before I figured out what the problem was.
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 !
The strangest thing I have even experienced, and perhaps can save you time and headache.
** Summary (for those not wanting to read the whole story, but just the fix)
If your HD2 Android can connect to your home WiFi but cannot access Internet, check if your WiFi network uses a 192.168.20.x IP subnet address. The HD2 Android's USB port uses the same subnet, causing a conflict. If you change your home WiFi to use any other subnet, it will work fine.
** The Long Story
Been reading and admiring all the Android developments in XDA-Developers for some time, finally decided it was time to give it a try. Picked one of the more popular and stable MDJ Froyo (Desire HD) for SD and loved it.
Problem is couldn't use the Internet via WiFi from my home. Internet via GPRS works fine, Internet via USB/PC works fine, just not WiFi. The connection to WiFi is successful, picks up a DHCP IP address just fine, but no Internet.
Oh well, perhaps there is a WiFi bug in HD2 Android not reported so never mind.
Wait! On a business trip, when HD2 Android connecting to the hotel's WiFi, Internet works fine! Subsequently in many other places WiFi works also flawlessly.
Must be the WiFi router at home. Not too surprising as I don't use much wireless but wired all my other computers (including notebook PCs), it is faster anyways.
So went back and tested WiFi on a notebook PC (prior to that upgraded the WiFi router's firmware), PC connects and works, but HD2 Android still not. Tried all kinds of WiFi and encryption combination (BGN, BG, G only, WPA2, WPA, WEP), just nothing works for HD2 Android. >> Conclusion: not the WiFi router at home, just HD2 Android working with this particular WiFi router.
Finally (but forgot what app it was), I saw the USB port binding to 192.168.20.x subnet, exactly the same as my LAN subnet in the WiFi router.
Bingo, changed the LAN subnet to something else (really anything is fine because it is inside a NAT so not an issue getting out to the Internet) and HD2 Android works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
sorry, can you explain more where to change in the router settings? i can't find anything to change in my wireless settings
Look up the LAN (local area network setting) in your router, where the IP address for most WiFi router is set to use 192.168.0.1
In my case the WiFi router is set to use 192.168.20.1 (and DHCP to pass out 192.168.20.x IP addresses).
By changing the IP address of the router, most router automatically change the DHCP assignment to corresponding subnet, say from 192.168.20.1 to 192.168.x.1
x can be any of 0 to 255, just not 20 for my case or it causes conflict with HD2 Android.
Hi Dear friend , And Thanks for sharing experiences.
I have the same problem , but my router's setting is :
IP Address : 192.168.1.1
and my Starting IP Address : 192.168.1.100
IP Pool Count : 101
DHCP : Enabled
NAT : Enabled
Default Route : YES
but no webpage loaded , the weather not work . but the meebo messenger
with my yahoo ID just worked .
so how can i fix it ?
tnx
I notice the conflict (with my 192.168.2.x) when I checked the HD2 IP addresses (after connecting to the WiFi). When I see the USB port bound to 192.168.2.x I know the two just conflict with each other.
If something (meebo messenger?) works but not others... could it be your HD2 not getting name resolution (DNS ?). Say if you try opening this do you get the Google page:
http://74.125.153.104/
** This is Google's page without the need to resolve via DNS.

hi my friend. I tested it with IP but nothing changed.
but some of the WebSites with SubDomain Loaded. like : http://2.farsihiphop.com
and can u tell me how can I know about the port nimber . like USB port.
i think my Android's Kernels have been changes. maybe i'll can find something like this (equal IP address)
thanks.
I have following problem : At my university i have hidden Wifi network, locked with password.. But, ofcourse, we cracked their password, and now we can use their WiFi.. But i cant use it.. On WM i could use it .. One more thing to mention, there is a proxy u need to setup before u can go on internet trough that Wifi network.. but thats not my concerne yet.. I cant get connected to that Wifi.. I make new conn, with password and other settings, and it keep saying : Connecting... Disconnected...
Any ideas to help me ?
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. I solved it by updating the radio to version 2.14.50.2. I think this version works best.
For me 2.15.50.14 works, too...
Just Got a focus from america (i live in the uk). Everything seems to work, except the wifi. It just says connection unsuccessful your phone couldnt reach the wi-fi network. . does anyone know how to solve this issue ?
Is this a home router or work router your trying to connect to? Some people have reported that having the router assign a static IP worked, because DHCP was assigning a IP address that was already assigned to another device.
If it's a corporate router MAC address filtering maybe enabled & your phone's MAC address may not be in the list of allowed devices. It could also be that you haven't loaded the required certificate to allow you use of the router.
