No internet with custom IP

[Somacruz]

Hello, instead of necroing an old thread I decided to make my own, copied what I said there:

Once I put a custom IP adress, I never got any message about programs not able to first connect. Everything was fine for a while, however suddenly I can't put a custom IP adress anymore as then I get DNS failure and things just can't at all connect. If I put automatic it works, so I used the automatic settings DNS and still the same problem. Even when I put exact same IP adress, subnet mask, gateway and DNS it still didn't work.

Can you provide screenshots of the IP addresses you're changing and what you're trying to change them to?

In case you're not already aware: The DNS (Domain Name Service) is essentially what is mapping the URL you type into the address bar to an IP address. Like a translator. The IP addresses you put in for the DNS must be representing a real DNS server IP which can perform this translation. Leaving the DNS on automatic should pick up the DNS IP your Internet Service Provider uses. If you manually enter them, ensure they exist. For example, Google offer a free DNS service so you could enter some IP addresses they provide: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/?hl=en

A word about this: Even when I put same as the automatic ones, both with DNS and IP adress, same subnet, same gateway it still doesn't work. When I put in only custom DNS, everything works fine.

Top: Automatic IP
Bottom: Static IP

So, when you manually set them to the values in the bottom image, it works?

 

[Somacruz]

Opposite, as soon as I put custom IP adress it doesn't work.

Your bottom image shows no gateway:

Why are you changing the DNS server numbers ?

Where did you get 8.8.4.4 from ?

The only number you should change is the IP4 address.

Why aren`t you using a Dynamic IP address ?

Why are you changing the DNS server numbers ?

I once had an issue where I couldn't connect to some websites or servers with automatic. So I used Googles DNS and that fixed the issue.

OK the 8.8.4.4 looks OK then.

Can you post a link to a website you can`t get to, well not a link obviously LOL

As it was a while ago and it's now.. not a problem anymore.. I can only recall one site as I wanted it.. Avasts website, and I found by googling that changing the DNS fixed most peoples issue.

I actually just noticed that, and gonna attatch an image showing it is there when I put in my IP manually.

You can try using Device Manager to remove the device and letting Windows install it again...



...then set the static IP info again.

Well I just tried, but I had to download the drivers from ASUS website (as Windows didn't want to auto detect) and the problem persists.

Locate the network interface of interest under this key structure:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

Manually add the desired IP address to the value named DefaultGateway.

Welp... I apparently have a few.. sending the images here

Use the regular Graphical User Interface to set the values that you see here:

Then look in the registry for a network adapter that has this value set to zero:



That is probably the network interface of interest

Well if you put the correct gateway in youll get the net.

192.168 >>0<< 1

According to posts #3 and #4, the router is using the 192.168.1.xxx subnet. When the OP lets the computer be automatically configured via DHCP, the gateway is 192.168.1.1 and the computer has access to the internet. There are plenty of routers that use 192.168.1.xxx by default. Most routers can be set to use any private IP address block:
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

Took me a while to get that to work.. and putting my IP into default gateway worked... how does that make sense? Also I did try to put it on 192.168.0.1 just for fun and.. well.. then nothing worked at all. No internet, no network, no identifying.
