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.
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?

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
earlier today i installed the MIUI mod and it is pretty awesome. Problem is when i try to connect to a WiFi network it gets stuck on obtaining ip address.
Any solution?
thanks
you need to set static IP for it. I was facing same issue so had to set static ip for both my home and work wifi.
Hi
Been trying to resolve the Obtaining IP address problem of my HTC HD2 Android from DHCP to static but most threads do not talk about the "Network Prefix length" but are talking about Netmask. I dont have Netmask on my phone.
Will changing from DHCP to static work in the first place?
Pls help!
Model HTC HD2
Android Version 4.0.4
Build Number IMM761
MOD version IceCreamTosti v1.2 AOKP
Netmask is nearly always 255.255.255.0
Network prefix is nearly always 24
Yes static works fine. Settings - Wi-Fi - Long press the wifi connection - modify - show advanced.
