[Q] Change phones IP address? - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to change the ip address on my phone? It is clashing with other hardware on my network that has the same static ip.

no idea BUT BUT BUT your network should not be dishing out a clashing IP address.
Fix your DHCP settings on your router (I'm guessing) so it excludes the IP address that you're clashing with. Heck I'd just exclude the entire range that I use for static IPs.
Seriously though any DHCP server that is not a piece of junk will try a ping first and if something's already taking up an IP address it will not allocate it.

I was hopping for an easy fix because I just got my network working the way I want. My Droid is clashing with my security can system I can change the IP address on the cam but then I will have to go to 6 mobile devices and change the settings.
I will check my router like you suggested. Thanks.

All you have to do (in ICS, should be same for JB) is go to settings --> Wi-Fi --> long press on network you want to edit --> select modify network --> scroll down to "show advanced options" and check --> scroll down to IP settings and change from DHCP to Static --> scroll down to "IP address" and change.

Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address

I posted this question in the Networking Forum but got no replies. But here is my problem:
I messed around with the Network adapters settings, while trying to get WiFi to work properly.
Now everytime I connect to ActiveSync via USB, I get the error message, "Unable to obtain Server Assigned IP address". I am sure this is because I set one of the adapters to "Automatic IP", but I don't know which one. Moreso, my Wizard does not access the internet properly when connected via USB.
Could someone please tell me which adapter I wronged, and what setting its supposed to be?
i get this error message randomly. jus wen i wake it up the pop up will be there, i thaught it was jus a gprs error or something.
Same here :?
i´ve been getting the same message each time i plug my phone in to sync with my pc.
But now i put a IP adress in with my Wireless networkcard settings on the phone and the last time i synced the message didn´t show up anymore. Try that maybe it´ll help you too.
edit:
ok sorry, it didn´t work. Just got the same message when i synced the phone on my home pc.
Solution
Hi, make this:
Start > settings > connections > Network cards > Remote-NDIS Host > Click Use specific IP address
Enter 169.254.2.1 for IP address
Enter 255.255.0.0 for subnet
Enter 169.254.2.2
It functions on my Wizard...

My Wizard loves to give me this error message at random too. I'm curious as to exactly where it's trying to get a server assigned IP address from, and why.

Thanx Viking. Someone had replied my post in the Networking Forum with the same IPs as yours.
Thanx again
i would check you firewall aswell, cus that would block it out if it is not setup right. My does this everytime i get a update for the firewall!!!

Enjoy I had the same problem and found this solution in another discussion...
I found that this problem appears when you make ANY configuration changes in "Network Card"((
Hi, all,
I'm having the same problem with a Universal. Would this "fix" work also on my ppc?
Thanks

Yes, it should... It's a WM problem, not a problem of concrete machine.
tried this fix but it still does it.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I did the same as you, messing around with settings.....
Anyway I think this is the procedure I did to screw it up.
Click Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters.
Then select Remote-NDIS host. The radio button to 'Use specific IP address' is selected but no IP address is entered. You can't exit this screen without either adding an IP address or selecting the 'Use server-assigned IP address' radio button'. If you select 'Use server-assigned IP address' the problem appears thereafter.
To fix it (or at least restore the defaults) you need to edit the registry:
HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp\
Change the value of 'EnableDHCP' from 1 to 0.
That fixed it for me.

How to set DNS manually

Hi,
How to set DNS manually for wlan?
FYI, I am using wireless router but I need the DNS to set in the end user device.
Thanks in advance.
Try this
Settings -> Wireless control -> Wireless (where u can see list of available access point)
Press the MENU button and click ADVANCED
Here you set Manual IP and DNS. Cheers

[Q] enter specific ip address & dns

Is there any ability to set custom IP address & DNS
Yes..
Settings->Wireless & Networks->WLAN-Settings
Long-press on your network, select modify network.
In the popup set "IP settings" to "static"

ICS 4.0.3 Wifi - Setting Static IP not possible?

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

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.

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

Not a single reply?
Use your router settings to do it, add a reserved IP address for your nexus 4.
IF you want to do it on the phone just long press the network, click modify, then show advanced options, then change IP address to static instead of DHCP
