Is anyone aware of an app that I can install on my Nexus One, that when used in conjunction with a server app on a pc, will allow me to see the IP address's of my PC's on my phone. I realize this will most likely only work when my phone is on the same network.
The reason I ask is that I have an old laptop running Boxee hooked up to an old CRT TV(can't afford a newer LCD TV). This works fine for watching video's, but the image quality is such that trying to do anything else such as web browsing(Hulu) or system updates is damn near impossible. So if I have to do anything other than Boxee, I'm just going to VNC into the system. The problem is that the router does not allow for setting up static IP's, and it's not my router so I can't install DD-WRT on it, and it also has a habit of changing the client's IP address in the middle of a session. So if I could install a small server app on the PC that would broadcast it's current IP address, I could then easily pull it up on my phone.
Network Mapper by Ian Hawkins does what u want. And it doesnt need a server app.
Another option is to define a static IP without even involving the router. Just set the IP, gateway, netmask, and DNS servers on your boxee laptop manually, and it will continue to work even without the routers consent! The router isn't likely to be smart enough to actually map the addresses it handed out to the traffic it is routing, so it will just blindly pass the traffic.
Chances are, the router is set up to hand out addresses within a certain region - 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150, or something like that. Most of the time, they will just forward all traffic that is in the entire 192.168.1.x range (or at least some reasonable subnet) What you can do is pick an address that won't be handed out by DHCP (192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.250 or something), and set that manually on boxee. You'll be able to tell pretty quickly if it works! On the off-chance that the router DOES care, you can also try picking an address that is within the range of addresses being handed out, but on the upper end. Realistically, those almost never get used!
Static IP support on the router is nice because you don't have to do any configuration on the client, but if you're willing to put that configuration in (one time), you can get the same results. Worth trying out! That's what we all used to do before routers got fancy (and hacked) to include those cool features.
dyndns updater keeps it in sync and you can always log in online and see your ip address if your router has randomized it

I've been having issues for a month or two and it seems as though I've finally discovered that usually once they start, the highest assigned IP address has always been 192.168.0.11..
Even when I go into the terminal and change my mac address,I still can't get a different IP. Doing the same on my pc and the router is passing out offers in the 20's... Its the story of my life, any fixes??
PS, is it possible to attain closed networks password key with an android?
Is any one out there able to verify if this is or isn't true?
It certainly seems to be the case on hero with both a 2.2 and a 1.5 rom, with what ever router is attached to some open wireless network that I can't afford at the moment.

If you look carefully at the IP address 192.168.0.11, it's a wrong IP, check here for those router default IP addresses.
I have a HTC Thunderbolt that doesn't seem to recognize that the toggle for the static IP address is on. I have tried to reboot it and not sure what else to do. I need to be able to set a static IP for use with TRENDnet TEW-637AP wireless that doesn't have the ability to assign IP addresses. It continually says obtaining IP address from Network SSID. It will connect to wireless that can assign IP addresses regardless of the switch setting. Like I said, it doesn't seem to see it.
Thanks,
AC
assuming youre connecting with the wireless connect in the phone for wifi (the built in one), you can just set things manually.
Using a computer on the same network as the router you want to connect to, do this:
go to the command line in windows/linux/osx:
type ipconfig /all (if you're on windows)
ifconfig -a (if you're on linux/osx)
make note of the subnet mask (probably 255.255.255.0) and default gateway/network id (probably 192.168.1.1 but that could vary).
Then on your phone, use the same subnet and gateway and then find an open ip address for your phone to use (probably something between 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.150, but that also could vary depending on what your default gateway is. Anyways when you find one, say something like 192.168.1.139, enter that for the ip address and connect. Assuming all went well and you figured things out, you should be connected.
Ok. I will give that a try when I get a chance. Would have liked to done so today but very busy and it doesn't look like work is going to slow down for the next two days. Thanks for the quick response.

I finally had time to sit down and look at this again today. I was in hopes that I had missed something on the default gateway. I don't use one on my network as there is no internet access. Thought maybe it was I tried using x.x.x.1 as the gateway hoping that it would make a difference but it didn't seem to help. Thanks for the suggestions. I have been looking on the web and it would appear that I am the only one having an issue of this type. Thanks again.
Connect a wifi only tab via adapter or whatever to an ethernet cable in hotel rooms that don't offer wireless?
I would suggest you to carry with you a small and cheap domestic WiFi router. You can easily connect it to the Ethernet port in your hotel room and configure it as a WiFi hotspot. Don't forget to disable the DNS, so the wireless devices will receive IP addresses directly from the Hotel's router (basically you are disabling the router functionality in your router and using it only as a "repeater").
I use this configuration at home to enhance WiFi coverage and it works fine.

Being Cisco CCNP certified I am disturbed at this post.
1. Routers do not do DNS. You need to disable DHCP so that the router does not hand out IP addresses as you dont know what address range the hotel is using and to avoid ip conflicts if you are on the same network range.
2. You are not disabling the router functionality you are simply not using it. You are connecting the switch portion (not the WAN port) of the router to the wall jack of the hotel. With DHCP disabled and the switch connected to the hotel you now can use the wireless router as an access point. This configuration does not act as a "repeater" in any sense.

I'm sure your certification is just as valid as your hidden microSD card, the Tegra 3 tablets you have personally used, and the custom kernel and Touchwiz black taskbar you are developing.
1. Routers DO do DNS. Most cheap consumer routers run a DNS service. The DHCP leases they hand out contain the router's LAN IP as the DNS server. The DNS server on the router handles any requests dealing with the local LAN. Anything beyond that the router's DNS forwards to the ISP's DNS server.
Also you don't need to do any of this to get it working. Just plug the router's WAN/internet port in and go. The router will do its own NATing, assign an IP to the tab, and the tab will be able to browse the internet just fine.
You CAN plug the router into the switch port and you CAN disable DHCP, but why add the extra steps and complications?

WOW. You need to read up about networking.
1. Most if not ALL home/portable routers do NOT do DNS. I have yet to see one from any home router Mfr. You are confused because you have no knowledge of NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Unless you have a standalone DNS server (which is NOT in the router) on your internal network your PCs resolve names amongst themselves with NetBIOS over TCP/IP via broadcasts. The router sends its ip address as the DNS server because its the GATEWAY. It has no records or any knowledge to translate IP addresses to any DNS names all it does it forward the request out to real DNS servers on the internet or ISP network.
2. Please refrain from questioning my knowledge. Plugging in the WAN port into a hotel port is a bad idea. If the hotel network is the same as the wireless routers the WAN port will NOT obtain an IP address and you will have no connection to the internet. Since most hotel use the standard 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0 networks you have a 50/50 chance you will get no connection. Nobody is going to play that kind of stupid guessing game. Thats the wrong way of doing it.

Look, dude. We're all pretty frustrated with your trolling posts here. I get the feeling you're developmentally disabled or autistic. That's OK, I'm not saying that those are bad things, I just think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the point of a forum. This is a community, people who share information freely because it fulfills a need for human contact. It's a place to get together with like-minded individuals.
Let me try to change the tone for a second, and suggest how you could improve:
See, what happened in this thread was that someone asked a question (it was about getting internet access in a hotel room that had only wired connections). Another forum member answered with what he thought was a good solution. Your response, correct or incorrect, was directed at the answer, not the OP, and you didn't offer your own solution. All you sought was a chance to show that you know something and that someone else didn't. With all that Cisco certified networking knowledge, you could have offered the OP a solution; instead you decided to rant at another forum user.
I dare you to become a positive member of this community. In your next post, don't respond personally to me or to anyone else. Write a simple post about how you would solve the OP's problem. If you can't explain how something is done, provide a link to a website that can. I believe you're capable.

Again, I think you might be a bit autistic. I'm not judging you when I say this. Your "solution" was one line (turn off DHCP) with no context. The answer to "how do I get on the internet from my tab in a hotel room with wired internet" is not "turn off HDCP." You did not give any other instruction, and in fact you disguised it in a mound of flaming hatred toward the first person who answered the OP. That was unnecessary, and is not what people want in a "community."
Now, think about it in terms of math class: 1) A "solution" gets both you and the reader from raw problem all the way to final answer; and 2) You must show your work.
Give it another try. I believe you can do it.

Try the DHCP-disabled method, connecting the wall port to any port on your router EXCEPT the WAN port (which must not be used... unless, of course, your router has the option to make the WAN port act as an extra switched port... DD-WRT is your friend lol)
I have found that setting my router up to use an existing network as its WAN connection results in severely throttled bandwidth. Each device connected to a router is allocated a fraction of the total bandwidth (including your router, which is seen by the hotel router as just another device, when connected via WAN). Your router also divides its bandwidth (which, at this point, is the bandwidth the hotel router gives to ONE device) amongst all devices connected to it. So a ten room hotel with all rooms' ports connected (not necessarily in active use) would give you roughly 1/10th of the total bandwidth to be divided amongst your devices. If you connected two devices, each would get 1/20th of the total bandwidth provided by the hotel's internet connection.
If you use the router as a switch (DHCP off, WAN port unused, everything else is almost irrelevant), then each device connected to your router would receive an equal share of bandwidth directly from the hotel router. So with the previous example, 10 rooms are connected, but your room has two devices. The hotel router would now see 11 devices (your router is transparent to the hotel's) so each of your devices would get roughly 1/11th of the total bandwidth - almost double what it would get with the method you currently use.
My math isn't completely precise, because there are other variables that cause fluctuations. But I spent three weeks testing different methods to do this with a "borrowed" network, and using the router as a switch, which is the method everyone attacked here, provided the best speeds and easiest setup.
Also, to the asshole that kept calling the knowledgeable guy "autistic" - people with autism are meticulous about the details, and are incapable of lying. He wouldn't post if he wasn't confident in his assertion, therefore he must have done his homework. Therefore, if you are correct about him being autistic, then he is probably correct about the method.
I say this because, if he is autistic and didn't know what he was saying, he probably wouldn't bother to post. It is human nature to shy away from things we don't understand, but average people are able to lie, and therefore able to "fake it." Autistics can't fake it, they either know and are willing to share, or have no idea and probably don't even give the subject any thought. You might argue that he only thinks he knows, but autistics are also meticulous about details. If any autistic person tells me they know something, I'm more likely to trust them than I would an average person. Your attempt at an insult undermines your attempt to contradict him.

maybe i'm stupid and cant find the setting but how is it possible this device does not have a static IP/dns setting? is there a way to set it up after rooting the device? i just got my NT today and this is a HUGE setback for me since my network is restricted to static IPs not DHCP. Network has 9 pcs/laptops, 6 phones, 3 VOiP, and 2 IPTV Devices. I was trying to get it on the network during initial setup and failed. googled and found a way to skip oobe. still didnt help me

Not that I know of. Setting a static IP means that the device will only work on that WiFi network and no other (unless it uses the same IP range and mask, AND you guarantee that your static IP will not duplicate another on other networks).
Now, you may be able to guarantee this, but I think you can see that the average consumer (many Nook owners are not computer savvy, let alone network savvy) can get into trouble with a capability like this.
Further, every WiFi router I've seen, has the capability of assigning a specific DHCP IP address to a specific device, based on the MAC address. I would be very surprised if your network can't be easily configured to do the same.
The feature DeanGibson mentioned is called "DHCP reservation" on most current routers, or "static DHCP" for DD-WRT. AFAIK, older routers may not have that feature. I don't recall it for old Netgear and Linksys firmwares, may be others.
If yours don't, suggest upgrading to a new router. Abovesaid feature has most of the benefits of static IP (eg port-forwarding) but without the client-side setup hassle.
so the simple answer is no lol
pretty much sol at this point.. means i will have to reconfig yrs of work
i still think it sad that this device doesn't allow mean to set my own ip.

Wifi Static was zactly what i was looking for! THANK YOU!
Got a free n200 through tmobile to use as a hotspot device for my pc. I was previously getting the job done by using a galaxy note 3 and setting my pc's ttl to 65 but apparently that doesn't work with the newer phones.
I did some searching online and haven't been able to get a definitive solution to bypassing the hotspot throttle, as people seem to have varying results.
Had a lot of issues with PDAnet+, so it's definitely not a long-term solution for me.
Just sent an unlock request to OnePlus, hopefully by next week I'll get the unlock file and I'll root the phone. I'm assuming that rooting the phone will expand my options for what I want to do. Anyone have a solution that worked for them?
Yo, it's like dns hijacking, in fact, this is what you have to do to bypass this.
I'll paint a scenario, see what you make of it...
I plug my sim into a wifi router, in the control panel of this router, I set the wifi to use the 2nd ip, (yes, all isp's actually give you 2 ip's, one that is public, one the isp use's to spy on you, and the one you see in your ethernet card, usually 192.168.1.1.
Your wifi router runs adb, so it is on a different network, being 192.168.0.1, if you set your connecting device to your public ip shown by the router, and nxbogus domain your isp's private number seen in the router, (usually 100.whatever) and their dns, then set your prefered dns in the connecting device, you will bypass the throttling, but you will notice something else...
They throttle you by lowering your phones coverage lol...
Notice in your wifi setup pages your signal will drop from say 75% to 25%, and if you check the config logs, you'll see your limited 90% by the isp..
Yup, I'm isp level in this department..
didn't understand half of what you said. can you break it down a lil bit more?

yea i'm using easytether rn, very similar to foxfi and pdanet+... not a permanent solution however, as it tends to randomly disconnect and i often get kicked out of games due to "network lag". Speeds are exponentially faster than the throttled hotspot, however, so i wont complain.
still, would be nice if there was a solution to this for the native hotspot/tether features... tried everything with apns and changing the ttl on the phone but it didn't work.
looks like someone found a solution for the moto g 5g here, maybe i'll try to implement this for the n200, could be a possible workaround.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection. Make sure ADB is working and you can establish a working adb connection from PC to phone first prior to attempting to tether since it will use ADB. i get full speeds tethering using the paid version.

yeah i've been doing this via easy tether, gets the job done for the most part
For me, PDAnet has low throughput while EasyTether runs full speed and can be used with OpenWRT. They both disconnect randomly though.
No reason to deal with that if you have root. AdGuard+VPNHotspot+noprovisioning is easy to setup and works fine for most networks.

Only connection is WAN to WAN!
Ok, first, I use an lte wifi router, enter gui, goto lan, change router login ip to any ip not 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the latter is hidden in router, but when trying to connect 2nd router, using this ip, problems appear, because the 1st router has adb enabled due to the lte section of 1st router being android 6, and uses's it.
So in effect, I set 1st routers address to 192.168.1.5, 255.255.254.0, 192.168.1.3 ie, this is 1st router login address. In the 2nd router I set mac address of 1st router to use 192.168.1.3, having been set in the 1st.
I do this because if I set 2nd router to match 1st routers address, the 2nd router auto changes address, when plugged in to first, and the 1st router changes too.
So now that you can goto 192.168.1.1 in 2nd router with 1st plugged in, try 192.168.1.3.
First part over, now the tricky part...
Disconnect 2nd router (this Will become your MAIN router)
Start 1st router with sim in, only to obtain public ip, because you need to set this ip in WAN of 2nd router. If your ip changes every reboot, you need to check public ip from first router match's what you set the wan ip to in 2nd router.
Now when you are in 1st router's network/lan settings, look for option to use 2nd ip. enable it, in the ip box put your public ip, ie your internet ip, and remove all access to anything else, including disabling wifi, both 2.5 and 5g.
So now plug in 2nd router WAN to first routers WAN.
Go into 2nd router, and block the PRIVATE ip seen in 1st router, the ip the isp shows you, and NX=bogusdomain your isp's private dns
In your WAN page of 2nd router, set preferred dns.
Voila.
70-80% increase in response.
The hardware method to block dns hijacking
Ps any reboot of the first router will change its ip due to being lte, so remember to check 2nd router match's after any power outage...
