hello,
i need to access wireless networks with different settings. some networks are running dhcp-servers and for other networks i have to set static IP.
i am running CM7 and i always have to modify settings manually. is it possible to save settings for each network?

I've just purchased my O2 Xda IIs and am wondering if there is a way to do this:
IE seems to be one of the programs that automatically connect to Internet using the first default in Network Management.
Is there a way to force it to use the network connection of my choice?
Here's my problem?
When I'm in field, I want to use Optus GPRS Internet settings. (This is slow and doesn't work well in office due to poor reception.)
When I'm in the office, I want to automatically use My Work Network which is wireless.
In order to force IE to use My Work Network, when indoors I must manually change settings in Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
This is time consuming and something you sometimes forget to do when moving from field to office quickly.
Thanks!

When I turn on Wifi, it automatically changes my selection from MTCTouch WAP (my WAP provider) to My ISP, which works because I use a default gateway and not a proxy server.
Anyway, I'd love to be able to make it automatically select a network of my choice, or even switch IP address depending on which Wifi network I'm connected to. Does anyone know of this?
Hi I want to know if it is possible to set the device to use the available WIFI network and if not available then to use the GPRS to connect to internet?
In the connection setting\Select Networks: The network management tab has two settings 1) Internet and 2) Private network
If I use 1= GPRS and 2= my home network, all the internet access is managed by the gprs even if I am already connected to the wifi network.
Is this by design or I have something not configured properly?
Any feed back is appreciated.
the ppc will default to wifi if it is available. if no wifi is detected it should fall back to the 3G/2.5G connection.

Hi!
Off course it is possible to set the device to use the available WIFI. U do that by just setting WIFI on by commanager and go on. U need not GPRS to connection.
Search a little bit in this forum u gona find hundreds of explanation for your Q
Thanks samw52000 and Abo Forat for the replies.
I am able to achieve what i requested.
I was actually setting up the gprs setting first and then configuring the my work network as two separate entries.
Thanks
I have the HTC Touch HD for a few days now and I love it.
I only have the following problem with wireless network connection.
At home I am using a dynamic IP address at work an static address (wtih different DNS and gateway settings)
Does someone knows an program to set these settings for the different connections?
Thanx!
No one any idea
I think other persons will have the same problem. A tool should be available right?
you shouldn't have any issues really. It's odd that you doi. I use mine to connect to multiple wireless networks and it all works fine.
When you turn on the wireless to connect to a new network it will pop up at the bottom and tell you the networks it has found. Then you choose the network you want and connect to it. This will then store it as a favourite connection. Once this has been done whenever you turn on your wireless it will look for networks in range and then automatically connect to which ever one is in range in the Favourite connection list.
Your connection list can be accessed through Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi then Wireless networks. It may be advisable to delete them all and start again if you are having problemss.
Thanks

You're right for the wifi settings. But the ip settings (static / dynamic gateway dns) are not set through the wireless connection.
But I have found a program called wifiprofiles which does exactly what I want
Hello,
Is it possible to change DNS settings when connecting over 3G?
I do not mean the wireless settings.
In Windows Mobile it was possible to set DNS servers in the advanced menu of connections.
Now I can't seem to find it anywhere in HTC Desire (Android).
We are connecting our mobiles to a private APN with private DNS servers.
Thanks!
On previous android file systems I was able to manually assign the phone a static ip, dns, gateway, subnet, however I can't seem to figure out how to do it on ICS. Can this no longer be done or has it been moved somewhere in settings I'm overlooking? I'm having trouble connecting to my home network, however I know if I set up everything manually using static values I'll be set. I go to Settings -> Wifi -> : -> Advanced -> but nothing there to change the phone static information.
-EDIT-
Nevermind got it, but have another question below. Under wifi, hold the network and then choose modify. Put in IP address you want phone to be, gateway for router, Internet DNS information, and the subnet 24 for 255.255.255.0. I did it wrong the 1st time and assuming it was asking for router info and IP and not to assing the phone a specific IP address too
Long press on your networks SSID in the list of available networks and select 'modify network'. From here you can set everything manually.
Long press on the access point you want to change the settings for and choose "modify network". From the pop up window tick "show advanced options".

Thanks guys I figured it out. When I originally did that I thought it was for router info, so I stuck the IP address of the router in IP slot and not gateway at the time. Went back in and it just dawned on me. Back to setting up the new toy.
Don't want to waste space with a new thread, but must the router be broadcasting? I've always been able to setup without broadcasting the router, however I turned off wifi and turned it on and ICS cannot find the router and connect unless I'm broadcasting. I prefer to not broadcast my router for the neighborhood to see, despite having security encryption on
