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

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.

How could I get the IP address to my G1? thats the Ip my phone uses for internet not the ip when its connect via wifi
You have a couple options. Using Terminal Emulator you can use the netstat command or you can use the easy way and go to www.ip-address.com. What do you need your uip address for anyway? You can't remote in through edge or 3g like you can wifi though telnetd.
thanks...................

now i dont know the name of the app which was released last week in the market, but it uses dynamic dns and updates your G1's IP address automaticly to a domain name.

You're referring to DynDNS and you can also find it in some routers. Unfortunatly, I believe there is a service charge for it. I use no-ip instead because it works just as well. But as far as I know DynDNS is the only app that offers this. But again... why do you need it??? I noticed that when I go to whatismyipaddress.com and when I do Netstat in Terminal Emulator I get two different ip addresses. I don't know what's up with that but I'm thinking that the netstat is the ACTUAL ip address and the ip address shown on the web site is a proxy. I would imagine that T-Mobile would not be stupid enough to leave their subscribers phones open to everyone else. It's very simple to get someone elses ip address if you're a host of a web server since all ip addresses are logged and without security (such as a proxy) it could leave all users vunerable. So my conclusion... if you had your real ip address... what do you plan on doing with it? You can only access your G1 through WiFi as far as I know. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi -
What kind of IP address would I have if I used my Leo as a router? Would it be static or dynamic?
And would other people have used the same IP or would it be my own?
Thanks
you would have whatever ip your mobile provider issues. some give individual ips but most use block ips and nat (address translation) so more than one person can have the same ip.
go to whatismyip.com and have a look. o2 uk address for instance assign addresses that resolve to germany.

default is dynamic.. it is also an ad-hoc connection if you ask me.. some devices just won't see it..
Hi,
Using a HTC HD2 I am trying to access my home network via WIFI (WPA2/PSK - AES). Some of it works, some of it doesn't and I was hoping some of you would be able to point me in the right direction:
I can connect to intranet pages (for instance utorrent web interface) via IP, but not via hostname.
I cannot connect to network (smb) shares at all, either via IP or hostname.
A program which requires the hostname to work (since I use it over Hamachi VPN as well as locally and don’t want to change the IP based on how I use it) does work over Hamachi and not over WIFI.
I'm quite confused
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Elco
Sounds like your DNS isn't working. Do you have custom DNS servers configured in the "Name Servers" tab of network card config?
Yhanks for responding!
It should get it from DHCP (though I have tried assigning a static IP and dns, but this gave the same result)
Also, I have another older win mobile device, and with the same setttings it does allow me to access the network shares (by IP and hostname)
I've combed all settings regarding wifi and network, but since they are the same I am guessing it is probably a different at the registry level?
The HTC HD2 does have 2 broadcom wifi adapters mentioned though, a normal one and one with a DHD postfix.
Cheers,
Elco
@Talisman_: same problem here. have you solved it?
Exactly same problem on xperia x2. I just set on manual temporary.
Are you using Hamachi on your phone?
Did you have this problem prior to installing Hamachi?
The reason being is Hamachi installs a network interface which exists whether or not Hamachi is running
You may want to check your Data Connection settings and see if it has applied the "requires a proxy" setting
What are you using as your DNS server though, that is the question.
If it's your broadband router, then chances are it won't be able to serve DNS requests for internal devices (ie computers on your home network).
If that's the case, you'll need a proper DNS server (get an old PC and install Linux) and create a local domain such as home.local, or if you've got a registered domain, you can even set it up the same (domain.com for instance) just tell the DNS server it's the domain master.
It's been yonks since I played around with Linux so I can't tell you how, much easier with Windows Server
Some people advise against using the same public domain name as an internal domain name, but it just means you add A records for any public addressess such as WWW.domain.com or mail.domain.com if it's accessable outside your network as well as inside.
Alternatively, if you're only going to be accessing them via the home network then you could try adding a few hosts to your registry (use the windows calc or similar to convert each IP address number to Hex)
http://windowsmobilepro.blogspot.com/2006/04/etchosts-file-equivalent-in-windows.html
As always, you modify the registry at your own risk.
Android, the lovely mess of bastard Linux that it is, is failing to resolve host names into IP addresses. I have tried editing dhcpcd.conf, using the prepend domain name server option. I have tried adding a line to resolve.conf (what the hell is with those funny 8.8 addresses - thanks Google). Both just screw with my wifi connection.
I haven't tried using a static IP setup on the phone yet. Am I to be looking for something in build.prop to change?
I hate the feeling when no one replies to a thread.... you guys know what I mean, right? Whatever, at least it's not mission critical, I can be the DNS server for android.
Hi
I'm in the UK and i recently set up a US VPN gateway so that i can stream from various US streaming services. I did this so that I'm only using 1 connection to my VPN service. In order to connect i need to set my Shield to use a static IP address and a different gateway from the default one. This works well but i also need to be able to switch back to my normal gateway for services like iplayer to work. Unfortunately static Ip details aren't kept if I switch between DHCP and static. As my Mrs and kids will also be using this i need to find a way to simplify the process so I was wondering if there's an app that can toggle between DHCP and pre-configured Static IP settings?
Thanks
Calvin
I was going to suggest setting a static IP via your router but if you need custom DNS and gateway too that won't work. Hopefully someone has an app that can help.
