Unidentified Network when setting IP address to static - solution!

[doctore]

If you want to assign static IP addresses, you should turn off the DHCP of your router, then assign the proper IPs, Subnet Masks, Default Gateway, etc. to all your computers.

I will try that right after I read my emails.

DHCP is already disabled apparently. I get "warning - the default gateway is not on the same network segment (subnet) that is defined by the IP address and subnet mask. Do you want to save this configuration?" whenever I attempt to change the default gateway.

what are the numbers you are entering in the fields?

I am attempting to put in as follows:
IP: 192.174.234.196
Subnet mask (automatically obtained): 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 132.251.129.152

IP: 192.174.234.196
Subnet mask (automatically obtained): 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 132.251.129.152

The Default Gateway must be on the same network as your computer's IP. So the Default Gateway in your case must start with 192.174.234 (instead of 132.251.129). Although not necessary, common convention is to asign the first host address to the gateway, in your case 192.174.234.1

warning - multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as the intranet or the Internet). They will not function properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint networks (such as one on your intranet and one on the Internet). Do you want to save this configuration? When I attempt to save it. Sorry that I know hardly anything about the Internet.

What is the configuration you are saving?

 

[Razul Antiwield]

Told you above?

 

[doctore]

And I already told you that you can not have the Default Gateway on a different network. Did you use 192.174.234.1 as the default gateway address?

I told you that I get this before. Sorry I did not see your post above.

same problem, simply, set the properties via these steps:

1. if it's currently undefined, re-run the troubleshoot wizard which normally enables DCHP
2. open wireless status from the notification bar as in attached image
3. select the wireless your connected to, right click and press status

3. in wireless status, click properties on the lower left as show in red circle in the image below
4. here select ipv4 and properties ( same as you did before).
5. inside, type in the static IP, subnet mask , default gateway, 2 entry for DNS, if not sure then get the current IP info you got from DHCP , from a command prompt type "ipconfig /all"

hope this helps, for some reason, this fixed my problem!
