On my laptop I use an application called NetSetMan which allows me to store different profiles so that with one click of the mouse I can connect to the LAN or WiFi or whatever using different parameters. That allows me to choose different subnets, different gateways and DNS servers.
To do the same on Android I would have to go to Settings / Connections / WiFi and then choose one conection, then "Modify Config" and so on. Ans when I want to switch back to some other settings I would have to do this all over again, and remember all the gateway and DN settings.
Is there an application on Android similar to NetSetMan to let me switch configuration quickly?

I've created my first Windows Mobile application mainly as a learning experience. I thought might as well share it.
I have to use Motorola MC5574 and a laptop without wifi card for work and got tied of sharing slow gprs connection to laptop while in the field.
Internet Sharing on MC55 won't allow me to share wifi over bluetooth or usb. Tried ICS Control but did not work for me.
So this application is created and finished after days of research on internet instead of adding on a wifi card to the laptop.
This program requires Microsoft .Net Compact 3.5.
I do not know if it will work on any other device.
I am not responsible if you use this application and crash your device or whatever else happens.
Main proxy function is based on open source C# proxy server code. Basic DNS proxy and ping functions are added and compiled with SharpDevelop. I could not add soft input panel in SharpDevelop so there is no keyboard icon available.
To use:
Press IP button to list ip addresses.
Select server ip address by using < or > buttons.
Uncheck DNS proxy if used together with built-in Internet Sharing.
Leave it checked if used together with WM6BTPAN.exe and manually put in DNS and Gateway address (server ip address) on laptop bluetooth lan driver.
Press Start.
Don't forget to change socks proxy option in the browser on laptop.
To use with usb connection: On mobile, under ActiveSync>Connections, uncheck "Synchronize all PCs..." and reboot before the usb cable is connected to laptop. If ActiveSync on laptop connects proxy does not work.
In my experience Firefox works better with this app then Internet Explorer for some reason.
Connection limit (on the right of port number) is to prevent process overload by client connections especially on web pages with a lot of elements. It may be better to set the limit higher on the program and change network.http.max-connections value on Firefox.

New Version: 1.1.
Added KB button for keyboard.
Added DHCP service to make connections easier.
Added DNS resolve function for sharing ActiveSync connection.
Example: if the Internet connection through ActiveSync is shared as [Internet > Router > LAN > PC > ActiveSync > USB > WM phone > Proxy > Wifi Ad-Hoc > another WM phone]:
On PC, in ActiveSync connection settings, check “allow wireless connection” before connecting USB cable.
On the device running proxy: check browser to make sure it is connected to Internet. Create an Ad-Hoc connection with static address (example 192.168.15.1, subnet 255.255.255.0, no gateway address). Wait until connected with client device (which should be set to dynamic IP address). They should connect even though the client will have wrong IP. If they do not connect at this stage don’t bother with next steps.
Once connected start proxy or click on IP button if already started. The Wifi IP address 192.168.15.1 should show up. Set that as proxy server address, check DHCP, and check DNS with 127.0.0.1 as DNS server address. Click Start.
If the Wifi Ad-hoc connection still works the DHCP client count should change in a couple of minutes. If not make sure to keep the devices a few feet apart and also try turning Wifi off and on from the client phone to force DHCP discover again.
On the client phone: Settings > Wifi > configure network adaptors to “connect to work”. In Settings > Connections > Work Network > setup proxy server > enter proxy server as “socks=192.168.15.1” (example proxy server address) > advanced > HTTP > change port to proxy port (default 9876) so that the screen shows HTTP as “socks=192.168.15.1:9876. Socks port setting does not matter, as Mobile IE seems to connect using HTTP setting.
Note:
Tested between Motorola MC5574 and a Samsung Omnia i910. Wifi Ad-hoc connection on Omnia side is unstable and cannot be used as host.
Therefore Internet>MC55>Wifi>Omnia works but Internet>Omnia>Wifi>MC55 does not work reliably.
Nice. Have you seen the SOCKS proxy app from pchasco? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414389
Anyone say, how to change DNS server, of a determined connection, in our LG O1?

"Determined connection" is a bit vague. If you're talking about Wi-Fi, then you can do the following:
- Menu - Settings - Wireless & networks - Wi-Fi settings (Wi-Fi should already be enabled in order to access the settings)
- Press "Menu" key, select Advanced
- Enable "Use static IP" and have your way with the settings, including DNS.
Hi
Has anybody added a hidden SSID to the list of wifi connections that works reliably?
I cannot see the option available when I am adding a new WiFi hotspot and the WiFi application cannot see the network when hidden. For certain other android devices has been reported that the option for a hidden network is there but I cannot see anything in the interface available on our SGIIs.
Its the wireless at work so I have no control over it.
Any ideas?
----------------
When i go into settings -> wireless & network -> wifi, i see "add wireless network" at the bottom, then i can add the SSID of any network.
You can add whatever you like there but details of a hidden network are ignored i.e. the scanning that follows fails to connect to the hidden network
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
ive been wondering about that for a while
the same thing occurs on my SGS 1 so its possibly a OS issue
Hi, I have problem with wifi conection. I'm normally connected to wifi but I don't have internet access.
You might think that you're really connected to a wi-fi, to verify your wi-fi connectivity, do this steps.
You must turn-off first your existing wifi connection before proceeding this steps!
Using your Samsung Galaxy Mini, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-fi Settings, turn-on your Wi-fi connectivity there.
If your SGM can scan wifi connection then it might give you several wifi networks.
Below Network Notification is Wi-fi Networks, you can see a list of available wifi networks there and you can clearly say that you are NOT really Connected if the status of each Wi-fi networks is giving you this message. "Remembered, secured with WPA/WPA2PSK or secured with Password".
To sum it up, you're SGM can scan wifi networks but it cannot successfully connect because some of wi-fi networks are secured with Password. Just ask for it's password, otherwise, find a wi-fi network which doesn't have a network password.
What if you're already connected but still, cannot access internet surfing..
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
Under Manage Applications, point to All tab and find Internet on the list and Opera (if you have) and Google Play Store (formerly known as Market) and Open each Applications.
for example: Open Google Play Store then click Clear Data and Clear Cache then repeat this steps to other applications which I mentioned above.
Hope it helps

Just wondering if it is possible to setup Android 4 phone as internet gateway without enabling WiFi tethering?
Use case:
Connect the phone to my WiFi home network.
Set phone in gateway mode (ipv4 forwarding?)
On any other PC in my home network set default gateway to phone IP
In theory Android at this stage would handle outgoing connections for that particular PC.
On the grand scale what I'm thinking about is this:
I have multiple phones that have unlimited 4g plans on them, every time I come back home, phone joins the WiFi network and starts acting as a gateway. On my main routing box (pfSense) I setup multiple gateways (for each phone) and a load balancer. So every time phone appears, gateway changes to UP state in pfSense -> Load Balancing is using that phone as well. When I leave my house, pfSense detects that gateway is unreachable -> removes it from list of load balancers.
Did you ever find a solution, this is exactly what I want to do.
