A possible fix for Internet hotspot connection failures
Authored by: aubreyapple on Feb 05, '07 08:47:54AM

I like this solution. In the past, I have seldom been able to get DHCP to work in remote locations. Instead, I have manually assigned my own IP address and, if it is not already assigned, the router will take it. One can usually tell what range to use, but typically I just use 198.168.1.10, but sometimes the 1 is a 2 and sometimes you have to dig deeper to see the real network address.

Then I also keep a record of the DNS servers I typically use from home and those work remotely too (most of the time).
