Hi brucethetech
I know where to find the settings on my N85. What i need help with is the ip setup of my network.
i,e, my lan connects me to the internet and my university's nat or watever assigns me a new ip address every time.
if i set up an ad-hoc network, for some reason windows changes my lan ip to 192.168.0.1, meaning i cant connect to the internet from my laptop anymore.
im confused. i thought the setup could simply be
N85->HP Wifi->HP Lan->Internet
For some reason this is much more complicated than i anticipated.
Any suggestions?
ok here's what ive tried so far.
1.local area connection gets a different ip address every time i connect. right now its 134.225.188.230,
default gateway is 134.225.188.254,
primary and secondary dns addresses are 134.225.159.101 and 134.225.159.37
2.set up an ad hoc network 'Incubus' with WEP
3.wireless lan is set to allow networked users to share the computer's internet connection.
4.wireless lan is set to configure ip addresses automatically (dhcp)
5.all firewalls disabled for now
now i've tried allowing the phone to acquire settings automatically and manually entering the ip address as 192.168.0.3, 255.255.255.0(same as lan),
default gateways tried both 134.225.188.230 and 134.225.188.259,
dns servers tried both 134.225.188.230 and 134.225.159.101 and 134.225.159.37.
With every attempt at mixing n matching the settings, my phone keeps giving me 'no gateway reply' errors when i try to browse a website.
please help!
