hi,
thxx a lot!
can t believe there are no menu for conf static ip :'(
#whatafail!
no apps for that on a root device?
thxx for your help
rv
when you connect to the ap,there is a option.
settings wireless&networks wifi settings wifi networks
a little button appears when you hit the name of the network.
it s a option of the ipsetting ,
i am not sure whether you can find what i said,cause i am a chinese .
maybe there are something wrong with my words.
but,yes,you can set a static ip on a 500.
great!! thxx a lot, that was a hidden scroll menu in fact!
i gonna give it a try!
i see that menu before,but my router has opened dhcp.
so i never try to use it.
i guess it can work.
just have a try, good luck for you.
Hi
thx for your posts.in fact i ave dhcp on my dd-wrt repeater but android devices cant get an ip, workss perfectly with computer but not with android clients. maybe a dhcp issue.
i ve tried the static menu, didn t worked :-( try to force the connection without suceed.
what are u supposed to put in the field bdtween gatwy and 1st dns?
i left it blank.
thx for ur help
rv
you need check your computer to find out the gate and dns .
everyone has a different dns, cause we have different isp.
Hi
the prob are not gtwy n dns, between these 2 fields there is another one, seems to be “network length“ dunno what to put in.
can u try pls?
thxx
sorry,i don t know ....
i never use static ip with a500.
on computer , it just need set the ip gateway dns ,there is no length....
you have to fill the dns1 ,dns2 is a backup.
i will do some search about the network prefix length ,just wait.
well,i search it.
if your gateway is 255.0.0.0 the length is 8
255.255.0.0 16
255.255.255.0 24
you can try.
Thxx firdt time i see that kind of field in an ipconf
thxx
hi,
thxx a lot,
works with 24 .
quite weird, why not simply ask for network mask as usual...
here are some info about prefix length
http://www.gadgetwiz.com/network/netmask.html
thxx folks!
well,i made a mistake.
it depends on the mask ,not gateway.

Hi
Do you know if it is possible to shift between two different IP setting of the wi-fi card? Like IP-shifter does on WIN XP....
In fact I need a static IP to connect to my WAN, but to connect to the public WAN that I have in university I need a DHCP configuration and it come annoying any time I change the IP configuration renter that manually...
Thanks
Bye
I've found what I was looking for!
Its name is Kelbran IP Manager and allow you to switch between different IP setting.
Hy
At home I have a Wifi , its manual IP config , No DHCP , works grate . Problem is that I dont know how must I configurate Xperia for supporting severall WifI conections with diferent settings on each one , diferent IPs and security settings .
THx for help .
On my ex - p990i was easy to make that work .
Wifi without DHCP isn't really thought of much these days. I suggest using DHCP and configuring static IP address lease, if static address is needed.
"wifi profiles" does what you want
it will allow you to create a shortcut to quickly activate wifi w/ specific network profiles. just create two shortcuts. one for work and one for home

please let us know how well it works for you?
do you have proxy enabled in one of these profiles
No proxy , by now ,just 2 diferent Wifi conections , one in DHCP and one not , both works nice .
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.
I turned on wifi but was unable to access / change my IP to a static IP . I couldnt find the option under wifi - advanced as well. The new options allow me only to change my Signal Band (2.4gz/5gz) but not change my IP address or put a static IP.
Any thoughts?
It's right there
Press and hold your connected access point
Check Show advanced options
Click IP settings and change from DHCP to Static
Enter your IP/DNS
thanks i also had a problem but now i can enter my ip but the save button is unfortunately greyed out so stuck up in getting ip address can anyone help
ps: figured it out now working
thanks
saving of static IP is now per network instead of per wifi interface.
still not able to assign static ip

Is this also the case with proxy server? I have an Asus Transformer on ICS that allows me to save Proxy per access point, and I'm hoping the GNote will also do this on ICS.

Just checked myself, glad to see this!
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope thats all clear.
I have had the same problem.
Wouldn't is be a better option to have your router reserve a specific IP address for the MAC address of your Note? That way you won't have to change the settings on your Note when you want to connect to a different network.

It would, but that's a bit too technical for most users, as it requires going into advanced settings of your router. Most people don't even know their routers IP address, let alone configure MAC-level access!
Also the default setting is for DHCP on all networks, so the user doesn't have to worry when connecting to any network.
In ICS, they have introduced the option of allowing different IP settings for each network. In previous android versions, you could only have 1 global setting that affected all networks.
I like to use a static IP on my home network, but every over network I connect to requires DHCP. So previously, I had to disable Static IP to access other networks (or use an app called Wifi static!).
It's no wonder I was confused 'Wifi static' was no longer working

did solve it? See post #9 if not
With the long press stuff --> modify network and add the static IP, it seems not work for me. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3.
Do u think the phone need to be rooted to gain superior access privilegde?
And my setup network @home is ad-hoc. So cant reserve any ip on a router.
Kind regards
Takeur

if by "not work" you mean that you can't see an option to change from DHCP to static, it may simply be because the on-screen keyboard automatically appears at that setup page (so you can enter a password) and it obscures the options further down the page.
So, you need to:
1. long press on your connection to go into "modify network config"
2. press capacitive "back" key (or click "done") to reveal the bottom of the page
3. check the "show advanced" tick box
4. scroll down beyond the visible part of the page to get to DHCP setting.

You mean to fill all the other boxes because it still doesn't seem to work can anyone give me a step to step explanation of how to do it. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

here's my solution on my note ICS
1. long press wifi connection, enter your network password
2. change dhcp to static
3. fill ip address of your device
4. FILL NETWORK PREFIX OF YOUR STATIC WIFI NETWORK (NETWORK PREFIX is substitution of NETMASK ADDRESS (eg 255.255.255.255) see table here ttp://gabbtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/subnet-mask-address-dan-persamaannya.html
5. fill other requirement (gateway,dns,etc)
6. You should be able to click greyed out SAVE button now
When i go to the Samsung Theme Store and find a theme, there are no previews.
Have you see this behaivor?
I HAD the same problem and I have found the solution on forums.androidcentral.com. I can't post a link here, so here is the whole post from Mr. Raj Pyakurel:
Firstly, turn on yr wifi. Let it connect to yr SSID or wifi network. Long press over it. U can find it in yr wifi settings. After long pressing over the name of wifi or also known as SSID;
Go to: modify network config.
Click on: show advanced options.
Scroll down n change IP settings field from DHCP to STATIC.
Scroll down n go to DNS 1 n DNS 2 fields only.
Change it.
DNS1: 8.8.8.8
DNS2: 4.4.4.4
save it.
Note: Do not change any other fields.
If it didn't work, don't change DNS1 and change DNS2 to 8.8.8.8
and save it.
Additionally, u can change it directly from your router' s DHCP settings.
I hope it will definitely fix yr problem. Enjoy.
Let me know if it helped you too. Greetings, LadyGothes
