I've just connected my 7 to our coporate wireless network but when I try to browse in Chrome to an internal URL it tries to do a search in Google then fails but if I put in the IP address it works fine.
Two internal DNS servers are being sent in the DHCP response so I don't understand why its not working.
I've tried using Fing to do DNS test but its errors with unable to resolve.
Internet access works fine.
Please could someone give me some help on how to resolve this?
Thanks
Jon
Does your corp net use proxy servers? If so you'll need to set your wifi connection to use it

Hi Guys,
I have got a problem connecting to any wifi network and accessing the internet. The problem is rather confusing beacause at home i can access the shared drives on my PC over wifi, and i can also download email messages into the messaging client, but the internet does not work?
Is it something to do with the DNS settings (or lack of DNS server) in the network cards screen, and if so does anyone have the DNS servers for O2 ( i know they start 193.x.x.x)
thanks
The O2 DNS servers are:
193.113.200.200
193.113.200.201
However, I have a feeling that's not what you need; you probably want to use the DNS servers from whoever provides you home internet connection (since that's how you're connect to the internet; not via 02)
good luck
Thanks, i've put those in and will see if they work again. It did work before i "accidentally" set it to automatic :? lol
The wifi at my university either prompts devices for a log in or redirects the browser to a log in page to fully access the wifi. I cannot for the life of me, get my nexus 7 to fully connect. No prompts and chrome will not redirect. Any help would be appreciated!!
Typically on my laptop or other tablets in my University, whenever I connect to the Wi-Fi either a pop-up prompt appears where I can enter my log in info or I go on to my browser (also chrome) and enter a website liek facebook or yahoo and it will redirect to the University's Wifi page and I can log in from there.
My Nexus 7 doesn't have a pop-up prompt when I connect to the wifi nor does the Chrome redirect. Any tips?
That's weird. I connected to the harvard medical school network at where I work and when I tried going to a web page (espn), the redirect occurred and I could sign in. Don't know why it isn't working for you

I have no idea why, I'm connected to Cornell Medical School wifi as well, and typically i'd have to type in my log in and my password when Chrome redirects me but it's not redirecting. It keeps saying This Webpage is Not Available because the DNS Look up failed."
I get an error on the bottom of Chrome stating: "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resole the server's DNS address."
Trying using Firefox to authenticate instead. Once you do Chrome will work fine (just not for the authentication part).
Quick idea:
At Eastern Washington University there's an open access AP and a secure AP. When you use open, you are redirected to a student sign on page.
When you use secure, there is no page redirect, as you login using some fancy WiFi security protocol with the same user/pass combo from open. (Tablet remembers network auth and auto-reconnects when in range with no redirects) Maybe just check to see if you have that available?
Also, try forgetting/disconnecting from your network so it doesn't reconnect; then manually reconnect to it. This would hopefully flush any DNS configuration your tablet may have erroneously stored.

Thanks everyone, for suggesting the use of other browsers such as Opera to help me redirect. However, I downloaded Opera and Dolphin browser (couldn't find Firefox for some reason) and both of them will not redirect me to the log in page. But my iPhone is able to connect. Any tips? Any help would be appreciated!! (Sorry this is my first Android device)
Can someone please solve this issue? Or at least give an explanation why the nexus 7 has issues with certain open networks?
If you're going to an encrypted (https) page, you won't redirect. Try going to www.google.com instead of your homepage (gmail can be set to https).
Its not encrypted. Just a standard login. I really have no clue what is going on. I tried setting a static IP and using google's DNS as well as open DNS which helped a bit (I occasionally get th elogin screen now, but it doesn't do anything for me).
Has anyone ever solved this issue?
Mine redirects just fine. I have to select the network in the WiFi settings, and then open the browser, though.

Not sure from your answer if you understood me. If the page you're trying to get redirected FROM is HTTPS, it won't redirect. Navigate to google.com and see if you redirect (since that's never https).
That page is not https. It is standard HTTP.
Before I wouldn't even get that page. Now I reliably get that page (the authentication/acceptance of policy page) since I changed the DNS settings for open DNS (another site recommended using google's DNS or using open DNS). However after I hit accept, it doesn't do anything and just times out after 5 mins or so.
This should work
idk if I'm late in answering this but next time you log in from any device look for the router number and type that in the web browser on the device it isn't connecting on and that should redirect you
Is there any hope? Android is just impossible when it comes to wifi. Sometimes it brings up the login page. But if it doesn't bring up the login page, you will never get connected.
Here's a sample experience.
I'm at a coffee shop trying to connect my oneplus one, which has cyanogen12.0-yng1tas17l
Some things I tried: I opened wpa_supplicant.conf with a text editor and deleted this coffee shop's network. I tried to connect using the app "wifi browser login." I went to settings--modify network--advanced options--ip settings to find the gateway, ip address and dns of the coffee shop, and tried typing them into the browser. Nothing works.
This failure to load the login page is a problem that affects android in general, not just the oneplus one or cyanogen. I have problems with the nexus 7 sometimes too. I've been searching for a solution for years. The silence is deafening.
I've taken my N7 into work to see how well it works in an Enterprise environment as we're looking at purchasing tablets in the near future.
I've found an odd issue with DNS, internal resolution doesn't work, if I try and connect to or ping a hostname it responds with a DNS failure but if I connect or ping the corresponding IP address it works fine.
Connections to the internet work fine.
I've checked the DNS using ROM Toolbox and its displaying the correct DNS servers it just doesn't seem to be using them.
How can I get DNS to work for internal name resolution?
Thanks
Jon
When you try to ping or remote, are you just using the hostname? Try pinging it using hostname.domain .

What exactly do you want to do? I believe what you're looking for is a DNS Server.
i want to make my IP address digits of my own choice
Sent from my A100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think it is impossible because we cannot control IP addresses alocation.
Try to use something like DynDNS or no-ip instead.
The internet works because you are prevented from doing that. Your carrier owns its ip block and assigns an address to you.

It is surely impossible
It's a little bit tough to answer you directly without more info as to what you are trying to achieve.
If you are talking about assigning a static IP address to your phone, on the mobile networks this is not possible AFAIK.
If you are talking about assigning a static IP address to your home WAN, you can talk to your ISP about doing this (they usually charge for it).
Another alternative as someone mentioned is to use a Dynamic IP DNS service, such as No-IP.com
Can you be more specific about your exact goals?
Impossible, as far as I know, you can just ask for IP reassignment which wil give you a new IP adress. Not of your choice however.
As someone said above, you're probably looking for DNS. You can't really change your IP address, but you can alter the last two digits of your IPv4/6. Is this what you're referring to?
You can assign any ip addresses only in private network.
If you have local net, you can assign ip addresses by:
Manually
DNS server zone
DHCP
In the internet you can't assign ip addresses.

Hey guys. Got a nexus player a few weeks ago and was able to sideload TorGuard on there. I can enter in my credentials and it authenticates, but when it goes to establish a connection it fails. Does anyone know how to get it to establish? On most recent stock OTA and not rooted. Also the bootloader is still locked.
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
I just got my NP today and am having the same problem getting TorGuard to run. I got it sideloaded OK and it seems to authenticate fine, but never establishes a connection. Were you able to figure this out? Any assistance would be enormously appreciated.
Thanks!
Vpn
I read a web site that suggested loading openvpn installer and openvpn settings for the fire tv do you think it would work on the nexus player? ??
SOLVED!
You simply need to have TorGuard change your 'username' to something other than an email address --- the email address format (e.g. '@' '.com') screws things up on the Nexus Player. However, if you simply have a traditional 'text' username, everything authenticates fine. Simply contact TorGuard support and they can make this change for you in a couple of minutes.

Is it possible to use other vpns than torguard? ??
If it runs on 5.1.1 or 6 it should work for Us

Since we're running either v5.1.1 or Android v6, any VPN client certified for either Android system should run on our Nexus Players.
I have a torGuard account and only have experience with that, so far.
Torguard vpn
Ok so I can connect with the vpn but when I exit the app and try a to watch a tv app from the same country as vpn connection it doesn't work. When I go back to the vpn app it says that it is initializing and a new ip address appears. Any ideas? ??
I have this same issue ... the TV app I am trying to load is Netflix and it says it cannot find the netflix servers or connection... Can't seem to find a fix but the TorGuard support are pretty good and helping me at the moment will let you know if a fix is found ... Unless you have a fix already?
I just order a Nexus player hopefully private Internet access works
