Sorry maybe it's already been asked many times but is there anyway I can changed the DNS server given by the Nexus One when I use wifi tethering?
I activate Wifi tethering, got an IP address from the Nexus One but it seems that the Nexus one foward all the DNS request to 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 (google servers)...
My carrier block the DNS request to all DNS servers except two dedicated servers on the network ... Is there any way I can edit a file or use some commands (maybe ADB) to force the Nexus to give me the two DNS server I need to get my wifi tethering working...
I tried to find in the topics but can't find the answer ...
Thanks for your help.
Nobody know?

Does your phone allow you to surf when you turn off tethering?
If yes - then it's not the phone to blame, since it uses all connectivity as it's provided by the carrier, but the computer connected to the phone - the computer is trying to access Google DNS servers by default. Look in your network settings.
Yes it's working when tethering is disabled... On my computer, DNS are set to "automatic" and I'm receiving a dns IP from my nexus... looks like the phone is forwarding to the google dns...

searched on the market for videotron but didn't find anything. would you mind to give a little more detail since I find your problem rather interesting. does the phone uses only google dns server?

I have frf91 on a AT&T version of nexus one. I am trying to tether wirelessly but I can't because of a DNS issue. My computer (I've tried with a PC and a Mac) sees the network and can ping a IP but nothing requiring DNS. So I am pretty sure the problem is not a computer but the phone itself or the cell company. I'm not rooted and am using vodacom Tanzania for service. Internet works fine on the phone. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Have you tried changing the DNS settings in the connection properties on the PC to use alternate DNS servers? (e.g: OpenDNS's servers)
Preferred DNS server address for Open DNS is:
208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS server address for Open DNS is:
208.67.220.220
Yes I've tried that and some other DNS numbers with same results. Thanks.

Randomly after weeks, I tried tether again and it works. Now every time I connect the ssid shows one number higher like "android ap (16)" on my win7 machine.

I have a custom ROM based on the official 2.3.5 ROM (3.12.405.1) and the HTC WiFi Hotspot application doesn't work. The app starts and wireless devices can associate with it and lease IP addresses via DHCP but they can't access the Internet. I think its a NAT problem in the application because I can resolve names from my PC as the phone is proxying the DNS lookups - i.e. open a command prompt on my PC and type 'nslookup www.google.com' and I get valid answers. If I try to access the Internet with the browser it fails.
I have downloaded android-wifi-tether and this works as long as the 'Routing Fix' is checked in the settings. I was hoping not to have to have this alternate WiFi Tether application and use the integrated one.
Just tested USB Tethering and the results are the same - i.e. PC gets an IP address and can resolve names but can't access the Internet. I assume this is something fundamental in the NAT/Routing being done by the phone?

Really weird... Sounds like your mobile data connection is down. (I'm sure you already checked that)
Flash some other ROM with same base and try.

I can access the Internet on the phone when its running so I know there is connectivity. As I say I think its something fundamental with the NAT/routing on the phone - I am not sure how to debug it further?

I am not sure why but this fixed it for me:
http://androidforums.com/1734672-post32.html
I assume with Orange the WiFi Hotspot App uses this 'Consumer Broadband' connection and not the default 'Orange Internet' connection. I was tempted to delete the 'Consumer Broadband' APN and see what happens, a job for another day though as I need to use it at the moment.

I'm not able to connect to wifi at all with my One, even when I have excellent wifi strength. I thought I had a defective unit but I got another one and it still doesn't connect. I have no trouble connecting at all with my iPhone 4s, Nexus 7, or Samsung Galaxy S1. (When I run speed test with these I get about 7-10 Mbps download and about 10-15 Mbps upload) Is there anything I can do to fix this? (like an update or something) This is my last resort before I bring it back and use my old phone.
Have you changed your WiFi password recently?

Ok I fixed it. To anyone having problems with wifi, on your wifi settings click "show advanced options," change ip settings to static, and change the DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4

If I am not mistaken that 8.8.4.4 is a google DNS. Meaning you bypassed your providers DNS and are now using this one. This would indicate that there is a DNS conflict between you and your provider....and you basically went around the problem. Hey if it works it is all good I guess and of course I may be way of course in the response. If so then please feel free to refer to me as a dum dum
Edit: Let me re-phrase this a bit because it does not actually indicate a conflict. Apparently your wifi router is set to this google 8.8.4.4 DNS and not the DNS that your provider is using. Thus any device going through the wifi router must match this DNS setting to connect.
Many people on lets say XBOX do this to maybe help with lag and stuff especially if the google DNS server is closer to them than there Providers DNS server.. It is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things but it is not a universal fix as so stated in your reply. Hope this makes sense.
I'm having issues connecting to the 5mhz WiFi network while the 2.4 works perfectly fine on same router. Same thing at work... Laptops connect fine. Tried both stock and viper Rom and still nothing... It just doesn't even connect to the network... The pass was entered correctly.

No issues on 5GHz with my Linksys E3000's with dd-wrt firmware. Are you on the latest firmware from the manufacturer of your device?
Using ddwrt myself.. it's really weird cause even at work with their fancy routers.. it doesn't work nor at home... Maybe just defective antenna or something ? The 2.4 works fine.

I have managed to netflix to display US content on my phone, however whenever I try to play a video the chromecast hangs or errors out, it is ok with playing with content available in the uk.
is there any workaround I could use to get it to play the US content?
Thanks
#Edit: just noticed the mistake in the title
What are you doing to play US content on your phone? You should do the same on your router

The Chromecast has Google's DNS servers hardcoded into it, so whatever DNS addresses you are using from unblock-us or similar are ignored.
Only solution to this is to have it connected to a router that can redirect DNS calls. Usually means a router running custom firmware such as DD-WRT. Also believe the Ubiquiti EdgeRouters can do it.

Yeah I have a virgin media super hub, so I can't edit the DNS, would it be ok for it to go through 1 router first then the super hub? with the first one being the dns redirector?
Not being sure what the virgin hub does, but I guess it is some sort of combined ADSL/cable modem/router? Most of these can be put into "gateway mode" i.e. turning off the routing functions and essentially becoming just a modem so you can connect another router. Check with Virgin if they will do it for you.
Two cascaded routers is probably not a great idea.

Hi guys,
I only noticed it recently, when I have VPN session running on my mobile, I lose the access to my home network and can't see Chromecast. It only started when I upgraded my HTC One to KitKat, it was not an issue before. Is there a setting or something obvious that I am missing here? I am running OpenVPN app, but also tried the commercial one HMA with the same problem.
Hope someone can help.

Usually VPN clients have the option to not route certain traffic through the VPN. Configuring to not route Chromecast through the VPN should leave Chromecast visible unless there's also some multicast discovery being filtered out by the VPN as well.
I had to go through a very advanced setup on my firewall to get the cc to cast on my same network but use the VPN at the same time..
Hint: ISP redundancy.

The way I did it was have two routers - one with a Roku and the other a Chromecast. The Router with the Chromecast has a US DNS and the other stays as a Canadian address. Works well. Though I do occasionally forget how it is set up. But between them I can work around most Geo Issues.
