Hey guys, I've been searching around the forum and on google the whole night, but haven't managed to solve this problem I'm having.. I'm using Energy rom aug 10th version Cookie gtx.. I'm trying to use my laptop to browse the net using phone as a wireless router. Managed to connect, but it always shows "Limited Connectivity" on my laptop.. Meaning to say, I can't browse the net... I've gone through what some others have suggested eg. turning off "N" mode in bsb tweaks, making sure that the 2 adapters are one "Use server-assigned IP address", making sure that connection is to "The Internet" instead of "Work", updating the drivers for the wireless adaptor on my laptop ... but still, no joy for me... It's been a long time of searching, and I'm pretty worn out, so thought I'd post this question here before I hit the sack.... Anyone knows how I can solve this issue?? Sometimes my home network can be pretty buggy, so I thought that if I could use my HD2 as my router instead, I should at least face lesser problems, but turns out, I can't even connect properly! Help guys... Thanks!
*EDIT* Solved! Peeps who are having issues with using your Leo as a wireless router, follow the steps below!
Note: Credits go to DN41 as he was the one who walked me through it. Please thank him.. =) I'm just posting this as I'm sure that there are others who are also looking for a fix to this.. This may not be the best method, but in my opinion, it's better than no method at all... This should be the last resort if after trying out everthing else, and you still can't get it to work..
First step - On your Leo go to "Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters"
You should see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter...
Tap on them and change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1
When you're done, go out of that screen and it should be saved...
Second step - On your notebook, go to "Network and sharing centre ---> Manage wireless networks ---> Adapter Properties"
Untick the "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ---> Properties" and click "Use the following IP Address"
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Click ok, and then close the box. *NOTE: Do not use alternate IP's etc. It won't work.*
Start your Wireless router on your Leo and wait for it to start up, and from here you should be able to
connect to your Leo using it as a wireless router! Hope this has managed to help you guys! Thanks once
again to DN41!

not sure, but seems more of a PC problem,
what system are you running - I vaguely recall, that in Vista you could define the Home/Public connection type or sth like that
I'm not sure but I guess PC problem might also be the issue... I'm using Vista Home Edition... Do you know how to define the Home/public connection type and what kind of connection type should be set? Thanks a million!
I use Vista only sporadically, but the last time I tried to use my HD2 as a router for Vista laptop, I only succeeded after several attempts, what helped for the final and successful one was deleting the "Wi Fi router" from network list on PC, soft reset of HD2 (just in case) and start from the scratch
hmm.. so you deleted all the wireless routers?
no, only the HD2 one, which accidentally is named "Wi Fi router"
ok, will try and update here.. =)
=( Still no joy... Sigh...
The Wireless Router I used last week asked which provider to use at the bottom of the main screen. Vista will tel you that you have limited connectivity if you are associated to the WAP but don't have internet access. This implies that you have the wrong provider selected at the bottom of the main screen.
so you are using dhcp?
its worth to try static ip's, or not?
for example: LEO has IP 192.168.1.1 and your pc 192.168.1.2. make sure, that the gateway entered on your pc is LEO's IP..in this case 192.168.1.1
also make sure, that you have disabled IPv6 on your notebook.
that should really work...i dont like dhcp configurations and so i always use static ones...that ever worked!
DN41
okok.. this is getting a little confusing... Can you elaborate a little on what steps to take?
i think you should first check the advice one post before

Ok, which means to say, when you set up your wireless router on your Leo, you are given a choice to choose which provider am I right to say? Let me check and update you guys again.. =)
I've tried changing the settings on my wireless router on my leo to the one's which my provider uses for internet, but still, no internet access on my pc.. =( Going mad trying to configure this... anyone else knows how to fix it?? =(
now you could try static ip's.
i'm not sure, if wm asks you which ip to take while configuring the wifi router.
if yes, then you can give your leo the ip 192.168.1.1 - that should be everything for your leo.
on your pc, go to the settings of your wireless lan adapter. disable ipv6. then go to ipv4 configuration. set ip to 192.168.1.2, subnetmask (is this right translated?) is automatically 255.255.255.0 - finally set as gateway 192.168.1.1
that should work...
DN41
Ok, slow down a little here.. =) So on my Leo, the only place which I can see my IP is under the Settings ---> Wireless Controls ---> Wi-Fi ---> Advanced ---> Adaptor and networks ---> Network Adapters
and I see the Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter and also the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter... So I'm to change both these IP addresses to "Use specific IP address" and punch in 192.168.1.1 ??
Next would be for my notebook, where I follow as above to configure the Ip address is that right? I'll update again after I try.. =)
ALRIGHT!! You're da man!! =) Managed to connect and I'm now typing this using the connection from my Leo as the router! Great! Thanks a million DN41! =)
it's a pleasure =) have fun

Hi guys,
Since I flashed Energy Nov13 on my HD2 I've had the same problem. Previously, I would just switch on the wifi router and connect automatically from my laptop, as if with DHCP, but now DHCP isn't working.
I followed the instructions above and I CAN connect to my phone now, except I can't access the internet through it. I changed the two adapter IPs to 192.168.1.1, my laptop is 192.168.1.2 using gateway 192.168.1.1 and the connection is eastablished. However when I try to load a web page I get an "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found." in Chrome.
This sounds like a DNS misconfiguration on my HD2, but nothing about DNSes was mentioned above. I can access the internet (with Opera) from my phone while the wifi router is active, but it doesn't seem to be routing that connection,
Any thoughts? This is kind of important, though I don't think I'm going to get it working today...
I'm trying to find out how to set a static IP address into my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've read page after page after page on the net and I can't find a solution. The reasoning behind my question is that I need to connect to a wireless AP that does not hand out DHCP addresses. We use a PPPoE connection. My tab will try to connect to the AP with the WEP key but it just stays at 'Obtaining IP Address'. Well.... I WONT get an IP address from the AP. Since it never truly connects to the AP, I can't connect to PPPoE. Also, I have a rooted tab since to use PPPoE, I need SU control. That much is done. I'm just having problems doing something that I would have thought would be easy.
I long press the AP name and go to 'Advance' and I can choose 'Static IP', but the IP, subnet, gateway and 'Save' are all grayed out. I can't make any changes whatsoever. Please help me...... I'm about to give up since I can't use this thing for what I bought it for......
Thanks for any and all responses I get.
Hello,
I just bought a new mobile 2 days ago: Samsung Galaxy S3 (International version GT-I9300)
I usually use an Ad-hoc connection network to browse internet from mobiles or another wireless device.
Now, with the new samsung device, i am unable to setup a static ip address to the mobile phone. Can someone please help me?
Note:
I already went through settings --> About Device --> Status --> IP Address marked as unavailable.
And
Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Advanced --> IP address Unavailable
I read on google, we should have had "enable IP address" and i cant seem to find it.
Other useful information: Android version: 4.04
Kernel version: 3.0.15
Thanks for helping in advance.
Kind regards
Takeur
Long press on your connected network and modify. You can only set static ip addresses individually for each network.

Hello,
I would like to know how to setup the ip of my phone?
The solution u gave works to setup the network of my adhoc.
My IP setting remains greyed out.
Let me be more specific:
My adhoc network ip address: 192.168.1.1 /24
i would like to setup my phone ip to 192.168.1.30 /24 in order to allow connection. How to do it?
Kind regards

Like we both said, once the network is connected, in the list of wireless networks, long press the network and select "Modify".
You cannot set a static IP where you are looking. This would affect all wireless networks and also your carrier network. You would NOT want to be able to do that

The problem: the network never gets connected, as it needs a static IP first.
I understand the long press/ modify network. Even if i do it and configure the AP's IP, i cant setup the IP of my phone still.
Anybody who have the same phone as me, has he had more success please?
You don't need to actually connect. Scan so you can see it in the network list. Try to connect. As soon as you try to connect, even if it fails, you can then long press the network and modify it.

I just set the ip as follow: 192.168.1.30
The gateway is set to 192.168.1.1
Still there is no connection possible.
Cant help there.
Same problem here! Anyone found a solution?
I set the password, I enable Show advanced options, I set the static ip, gateway and DNS BUT the "connect" button(if I make my first connection) or the "save" button(if I chose modify) are greyed out on both cases!
does anyone know why?
p.s. I have done this with success in my Galaxy S2 with ICS!

I just found a solution!
I installed this app WiFi Manager found my wifi throught this app, setup the static IP, mask, gate, dns, saved and I was connected! then went to the android wifi menu, saw that this info was also saved there, so I uninstalled WiFiManager and now everything is OK!
Hello,
did u root ur device?
I installed that app too and configured the ip address for wlan card.
But when i checked with this application: "Display Wifi IP", it says that the ip is not configured.
Can u please post screenshots how u managed it?
Thanks in advance.

No, my phone is not rooted.
these are some screen shots of what I did:
1.wifimanager-push and hold the wifi
2.wifimanager-select "assign IP address"
3.wifimanager-write the IP, mask, gateway, DNS
4.android wifi settings- saved(forever) and connected (even if you uninstall wifimanager)

i did it that way too, however when i use the software "display wifi ip", it remains 0.0.0.0
With wifi manager, i was able to configure my ip, but looks like it is a permission issue
Anybody's else who knows something more?
Try changing your network prefix length to 32/24/16 or 8.
I had everything filled in completely and correctly except I left the length to 24 and the connect button was staying grayed out.
Once I changed it to 32 from the default 24 the button lite up and I immediately connected.

Already did that my friend.
The mobile is not rooted and we cant set up ad hoc networking (or a static wifi ip)
Simply pathetic.
People r making petitions as far as i no. Thanks a lot guys for helping out.
I have this problem too. I had my home WiFi with Static IP configured on my S3 a couple of weeks ago. Then I come back from a vacation, just to realize S3 forgets the WPA2 key to my network. "No worries", I said to myself, and tapped it in again.
Then I set IP settings to Static IP, but the IP address/mask/gateway/both DNS fields are all greyed out! I can't enter anything. This is ridiculous!
EDIT: Forget it guys. I'm stupid. It wasn't greyed out, but it was displaying an input mask in a grey colour. Ugh. Everything's ok.
My WIFI Fix Note 2
Ok, So here was my scenario:
I was unable to connect to my work wifi with hidden SDID and Static IP. Everytime I went to put it in, it wouldn't connect and then my wifi would turn off.
I had to find the app called AT&T Smart Wi-Fi. I turned off the wifi via this app.
After I did that, I went back into my settings and turned on the wifi under the settings dialog and not with this Smart Wi-Fi app. Then it finally let me connect, I managed to goto advanced settings after I was connected added my static IP and was good to go
Good luck everyone!

Simple fix find out your default gateway for me?
If your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 use these settings..
IP address: 192.168.1.X (X enter any number from 2-255, My opinion I would enter a number in the 20's. It should look like this 192.168.1.20)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1
DNS 2: 0.0.0.0 (Dont change this you will be getting your DNS servers from your router)
Thats it! Hit the thanks button if that helped!
If your default gateway is something different let me know and I will update this post. I am hoping you have a router!?
Hi, I'm new here..
I have a problem with my htc desire x wifi configuration. My ip for wifi is 192.168.1.7 and my router have 192.168.1.1 adress. I can connect to my home network but I cannot browse anything, or use play store. My device tells me there is no connection! What should I do? And I can not change my ip address also!
Tnx
The issue is most probably with router settings, not the device itself. Go to rooter settings (given IP address by the provider) and check there.
