Default Gateway

[dotan_shai]

I am able to connect via Wifi and getting IP address but the default gateway is sometime set and sometime not. When it is not set i can not surf the internet. Is there a way to set the default gateway in HEMRES ?

All I need to know is how to set the deafult gateway to 192.168.0.1 same as DHCP Server.

[PayableOnDeath]

DHCP should give it all the settings

might be worth looking to why your DHCP server isnt giving out the correct settings, but any way

Settings > Connections > Network cards > Network Adapters

you will have a list of the Adapters

at a guess it would be the IEE 802.11b/g Compatable wifi

tap on that
and it should give you some options tick Use Specific IP Address, put in the details

please note this will set the details for all wireless connections, so if only use wireless at home, then it will be no problem, but say you use it at home, at work and out and about at Hotspots, you may need to go in and change it back to using DHCP for it to work

can you give some hints how to do that ?

I did what you said , in VxIPConfig it said DHCP Disabled, and got the deafult gateway as 192.168.0.1 . I couldn't surf the internet.

Please that from time to time I am able to surf the internet when everything is set to auto. When it happens I get the deafult gateway set (and not blank) and the DHCP is enbale

the DHCP is enbale

did you give it an ip addresss and subnet mask ?

eg for ip
192.168.0.10
subnet
255.255.255.0

is your DHCP server on a router or is it like a PC with WiFi running Internet connection sharing

[dotan_shai]

I did what you say , this is what VxIPConfig said:

adapter address : 00-09-2d-b4-91-43
IP address : 169.254.210.158 (which is what i set)
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Deafult gateway : 192.168.0.1 (which is what i set)
DHCP server : 192.168.0.1
Primary WINS : empty
Secondary WINS : empty
Lease obtained : DHCP Disabled
Lease expaired : DHCP Disabled

still can not surf the internet , what is wrong.

where did you get 169.254.210.158 from?

try 192.168.0.100
as i dont think you will have anything on that ip

with a 192.168.0.1 gateway and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
your ip needs to be within 192.168.0.* range ( * = 1 to 255)

[Rudegar]

yeah a class c ip range is what one should use in ones internal lan
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Dear frinds,
Thanks a lot for your help , but still no change. This is what i got from VxIPConfig :

adapter address : 00-09-2d-b4-91-43
IP address : 192.168.0.100 (which is what i set)
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Deafult gateway : 192.168.0.1 (which is what i set)
DHCP server : 192.168.0.1
Primary WINS : empty
Secondary WINS : empty
Lease obtained : DHCP Disabled
Lease expaired : DHCP Disabled

The previous IP adress was the one that was set automatically before i changed it manulaly.

Still no surfing the internet. you said before :
might be worth looking to why your DHCP server

I'm not using a router it is PC with WiFi running Internet connection sharingthe USB to Wifi adapter is configured as Ad-Hock.

I see now, the ip 169.254.210.158 would be when the ppc couldn't get an IP from the DHCP Server

just a thought
Have you input in some dns servers, should be on the next tab
these dns servers will do
dns 1: 4.2.2.1
dns 2: 4.2.2.2

how did you setup internet connection sharing on you pc ?
via network setup wizard ?

Network connections > Pick your internet connection > right click then properties > then click on the Advanced tab > then make sure the Allow other computers on the network to use this connection, tick box is checked

I added the DNS adresses settings in the PPC , still can not surf the internet.

That's the way i set my internet connection sharing.

Network connections > Pick your internet connection > right click then properties > then click on the Advanced tab > then make sure the Allow other computers on the network to use this connection, tick box is checked

It is checked !! I remove the check in Allow other users to control or disable the shared Internet connection.

I've noticed that in success connection that allowing me to surf, the beacon icon in PPC is changing for 2 seconds to beacon without the circles and than return to its previous picture beacon with two circles. In a failed connection I always see the beacon with the two circles icon that never change.

Still no surfing is available. Any more ideas ?

Thanks for the helpers. My problem is now solved. I've just read in D-Link site regarding configuring Static IP in here (http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=2594&question=DWL%2DG122)
After performing the recommended settings, everything is working always.

Glad its working :)

so did you need to setup a static ip for your pc, or did you use the guide and put the details in to your ppc ?

[dotan_shai]

The static IP was set in the PC according to D-Link instructions . Hope this tread helped someone .
Here is the link to D-link , static IP settings :
