Greetings All!
I recently flashed my TyTn II with jjblaster3's 28008 ROM and am having some difficulty setting up internet access via WiFi.
I've set up the static IP address and DNS servers but every time I attempt to access a website I receive a DNS error. I've tried entering various websites IP addresses but for some reason Internet Explorer defaults to http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx whenever xxx.xxx.xx.xx is entered, so I assume it treats the IP addresses as website addresses. I do recall having similar difficulties under WM6.1.
Another thing I have noticed of various WM6.5 ROMS is that the IP address dialogue appears broken in that
The IP and Gateway address inputs are limited to 2 digit octets (i.e. 192.168.0.1 appears as 19.16.0.1)
The subnet mask defaults to 255.0.0.0 as opposed to 255.255.255.0 (note that the subnet mask also appears to be limited to 2 digit octets, so by 255.0.0.0 I actually mean 25.0.0.0)
I've been through the various IP/DNS/Network settings dialogues with a fine tooth comb but I can't seem to find the problem. I've even disabled the phone in an effort to eliminate the possibility that my connections DNS requests are be directed via GPRS.
Anyhow, that's all the information I can think off. Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nubey.
(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.
Do we have a way yet to set a static IP address for the chromecast? Mine are rooted and using eureka rom. My router doesn't have an option to set IP address based on mac address, and there are no custom FW available for it. In know in normal android, we get options for the device to have a static IP. Is there an option maybe for that hidden away in the Eureka rom? Or are there any other suggestions to get this accomplished?
I guess you could use dhcpsrv, the PC program a lot of use to force the Chromecast to use a desired DNS without changing the router setup. Just set it up to recognize only the Chromecast MAC address. But you'd have to have dhcpsrv running each time you powered up the Chromecast.
Hello everyone
I have just got a netgear router, and know that, to use Netflix on my chromecast, I can set up static routing to point google's dns to the router (so 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 - 192.168.0.1 in my case.) Is there a way that, instead of blocking all access to the google dns servers, I can reroute any Google DNS requests to the DNS service I use (unblock-us) so that the chromecast will think it's reached Google? I just think sooner or later Google will make the app force quit if the dns lookup fails. It would be good if it's possible to make it look like the requests are returned by google as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know that you can reroute using iptables in DDWRT, but I don't want to try and put different firmware on my new router just in case. Is there a way to reroute Google DNS in stock Netgear Genie firmware?
Thanks
"Private DNS" set to "Auto" sends every URL you visit to Google, even with VPN
Settings>>Connection & sharing>>Private DNS: Off/Automatic/Private DNS provider hostname
Changing this setting to Automatic will use Google as your DNS. This will OVERRIDE your VPN DNS and send your information directly to Google.
I have been trying to figure out why my phone is suddenly leaking DNS queries. (dnsleak.com) It looks like Xiaomi.eu has made "automatic" the default setting.
If you are using a VPN, just turn it off. Or you can enter a DNS hostname.
I tried to post this at Xiaomi.eu, but I can't even register an account there. Hopefully someone other than me cares about this.
Great suggestion!
I was getting crazy after I reset wifi settings on a Pocophone.
It was reset by default to on and it was bypassing my pi-hole DNS.
In addition, it is risky when using a VPN.
