I've been trying to set a static IP address for myself. My router details are as following:
Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4c77:ef95:76:961b%13
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.16
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
I set the static IP address to 192.168.1.50
. However, since I go to school and connect to my own access point I set up there, the IP it gives me is 172.168.1.2
(without a static IP). My question is, can I configure my Wifi adapter to set a static IP address only if I'm connected to my home network?
3+1 And in case the "Alternate configuration" tab is not there, you should first set the IP to automatic for it to appear. – user000001 – 2015-03-11T19:09:07.500
+1 for using the alternative connection settings. One would think that the saved connection setting could be edited to fix the ip address for a particular connection, but nope, the ip address is set at the "adapter" level. :( – GnP – 2014-01-29T14:56:18.197
How do you use the alternative connection settings? – Ilan – 2014-01-30T07:09:01.140
@gnp | It would be nice, but they never make it that easy for us. Everything is trial and error till someone figures out how to break it... fun times. – Matthew Williams – 2014-01-30T09:02:40.090
