Re: [iPad] iPhone5 Hotspot Update

 

No, you said you had to use a static IP on your laptop because your DHCP is faulty.

So your saying that over the years I am lucky that iOS connected to the Internet when I use hotspot as my dhcp is faulty??

TCP/IP, DHCP & DNS Don't work that way.


Consider yourself very lucky it worked at all.

And if you require a static IP for device A to always be seen by Device B, then there is a major problem with your DHCP server.

Yeah, 100% by accident, good old Windows!

Seriously though, I expect when iOS5 connected to a non Apple, if it saw a gateway IP set in stone it will have mapped it to the 3G IP, and it worked.

Change is fine, nice if they added that to changelogs to alert users. No doubt the vast majority use auto IP assigning on their wifi laptops, etc, but some of us require a static internal IP to allow device A to always be seen by device B.

You're too geek. It worked before on accident.

My Win 7 laptop wifi was set to use specific IP addresses.I assigned an internal static IP, subnet mask, default gateway which is my ADSL modem/wifi router.
I disabled that and set it to obtain IP addresses automatically, and all good.

Why is it that my wifi settings worked before?? iOS6 they don't
