I think you are right. I think my setting is dynamic given by my ISP. I tried to put my phone on a static IP address and then place that address in the DMZ, but when I did that, it connected for a moment and then went back to the previous problem of trying to connect. I looked at my DHCP client list on the LAN settings and it has only one computer on the list. It lists my phone oddly enough with the IP address of my laptop (my router automatically assigns computers so I fixed all my computers' IP addresses). So when I fix the IP address to the address seen on the DHCP client list, that's when I got that momentary connection. However, it was quickly lost. When I restore the phone setting to server-assigned IP address (on the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter on the phone), I see some weird IP address that doesn't correspond to my router settings (example: ef90::210:5gee:eid). Very strange. If that means anything to someone, please let me know.
I'm at a lost why my router can not assign this phone an appropiate IP address or if it can, why my phone can not process it.  |
