Work WiFi... Our company uses a static IP. Well I can not get my phone to connect to the internet. The phone will connect to the router. It will obtain an IP but it will not connect to the internet. I've gone in changed settings in the phone to static IP.. used the DNS in the router as well as Google DNS and still no luck.. ios devices hook up to this router just fine after changing their static IP settings.. Any thoughts??
Whether you get an internet connection or not - assuming you're using the right password, encryption, mask, etc., is up to the settings in he router. Ask the network admin to set your phone's IP address and MAC address to get a full connection.

I heard that you can access you Linksys router using your phone as long as you are connected to you wireless network and have web access. I have been unable to get this to work... Any ideas anyone?
Same way you would for anything, has nothing to do with the Tilt... If you're doing it from the internet, you have to turn on something which is likely called "Remote Administration" or something similar and access your internet IP address in a browser.
From the wireless network itself, just go to the router's IP address in your browser.
if you are at home and connected to your router via wi-fi just open your browser and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (usually the default address for linksys router, otherwise look up correct address for your model). you will be prompted for user ID and password default admin:admin. this is the same way you access your router from your PC. it is also possible to access your wireless router at home when you are away by just using media net (or whoever your carrier is' data connection.) just like khaytsus says, you need to first turn on remote access while connected to your router from home.
I have tried many times to connect to the internet through a WiFi connection. The phone finds WiFi connections OK but when I click on Internet Explorer, the phone tries to connect via GPRS.
I have tried reading the other threads and reading through 'how to connect' on the phone but have not found a solution.
I have had my XDA2i for many years and just changed the digitiser pad and LCD. I've never connected to a WiFi network, despite many tries.
Initial questions:
What IP address has it given you... is it 192.... or 169.... ?
And what is the IP address of your router?
When I select 'Wireless LAN Manager' it displays
Status: Connected to network
SSID: O2wireless**** Tx Rate:Auto
Mode: Infrastructure Channel: 1
BSSID: **-**-**-**-**-**
MAC: **-**-**-**-**-**
IP: 169.254.***.***. Renew IP
Signal quality = 80% Good
I don't know what any of these numbers mean. I have left out some info, as I don't know what is private. Is the IP address mine or the network I'm trying to connect to?
I don't have a wireless network. I just want to connect to hot spots when I'm out, like my friends do.

The IP address of 169.... means that the Router you are connected to isn't giving out dynamic addresses (DHCP)... Dynamic means that you are given your IP address by the router.
You couldd eclare a Static IP address, but for using hotspots you need to use Dynamic.
Where are you testing this?
If it's a friend's router, get them to check that DHCP is enabled and that its giving out addresses (could test with a wireless laptop).
The info I posted is a router I am picking up near my house.
When I'm out, we often go to a Hotel which has free wireless networking. My friend picks it up on her Blackberry with no problems. I can pick it up up but Internet Explorer always tries to connect using GPRS. I'm supposed to be the computer geek, so it's very embarrassing.
Well if you're only getting a 169... IP address then you're not going to get anywhere...
When you turn on wifi it should first of all start 'Scanning Network', then you get the SSID, etc and then get (say) a 192.... address. If you don;t get the 192 address then for some reason you're not picking up a dynamic ip address...
hi everyone,i bought HD7 last night and i have a problem with wifi.i want to connect my HD7 to my wireless routher. i must to set my HD7 IP.i can see HD7 IP but i cant change it.how can i do it? thanks
There is currently no way to set a Static IP address in Windows Phone 7, you'll have to wait for an update to come out that allows this.

You shouldn't need to manually configure your IP for the phone, the router will most likely assign your phone one if your DHCP is enabled (default on most routers). If you are wanting to connect it to your current home network and you have a wireless router, first you will need to go into the router configuration and set it to broadcast your SSID (if not already enabled). At this time the HD7 cannot connect to hidden networks (I don't see a point in hiding your SSID anyway, use better encryption, and a strong password with numbers, letters[upper and lower case], and symbols[if supported]). You can then use you HD7 to connect to your home network, once connected to your network go back into the router and look at your network. It should list all the devices currently connected to the network along with their currently assigned IP addresses. If you really need to, now that you know what IP address your router has assigned to your phone you can set your router to give your phone a static IP but really as long as you leave the router broadcasting the SSID your phone should have no problem connecting to the WiFi it should save the key and SSID, and it will get a new IP at regular intervals.

i have an adsl modem that connect to pc through the router,my modem has an IP and my router has another one,my phone get the router IP for Gateway,so i cant reach Internet in my phone,i need to change gateway of my phone to reach to internet and i dont know how to do that
My desktop LAN and wifi are different network. My office network is 192.168.1.x and wifi router WAN IP is 192.168.1.254 and wifi router LAN network is 192.168.15.x
My Note connects to wifi router and gets 192.168.15.2. I got wifi router configured to give static DHCP IP to my phone and it always gets 192.168.15.2. I then added port mapping to forward TCP port 8080 to this IP.
So when I run Kies Air, it displays URL http://192.168.15.2:8080
and from my desktop I type http://192.168.1.254:8080 and IT DOES NOT WORK. As soon as I hit go, URL gets forwarded to http://192.168.1.254:8080/www/index.html (blank screen) which means browser did reach Kies Air service but then nothing goes further.
I had done similar port mapping with other similar kind of apps (AirDroid, LazyDroid App Desktop, Motorola's similar app) and it always used to work.
Laptops in the same n/w (i.e., 15.x) are able to connect to Kies Air without any issue. My wifi router is DLink DIR 655. Any clues?
disable DHCP from your wifi router and let all devices get their IP from your original router. that way, you will be in the same IP range.
Thanks for the reply. Yes that is one solution to set wifi router in AP mode. But problem is we don't have master dhcp server leasing out 198.168.1.x IPs. All desktop are given static IP and there is firewall deciding who is given access to where and to do what.

Is it possible to set static IP on Chromecast or DHCP is the only option?
Can't you go into your router (or DNS) and set the IP based on the device's MAC address?

Yes, that's what I have already done but this still requires having DHPC server on the network, and my goal is to turn DHCP server off.
I'm looking to do this too. I have the Chromecast connected to a route in L2TP mode going through a VPN. All of my other Android devices can connect to the internet. The Chromecast will connect to the network. The PC and all devices can see it, but it won't connect to the internet. For some reason you can't even stream a tab when the Chromecast can't connect to the internet, even if the LAN is functioning fine.
I suspect the problem in internet connectivity is running L2TP instead of DHCP.
