How to set the DNS server on Nexus One?

Question

The ISP I use on my N1 doesn't allow me to open facebook. Using a PC, I can use Google DNS server (8.8.8.8) to by-pass them but on N1, I can't find where to put the stufff.

Please help if you know how to.

Answer 1

While you're on Wifi, have a look in Wi-Fi settings > menu|Advanced.

It looks like it's easier when you're on Wifi than when you're on a celular signal (3 or 2.5g).I've found a blog post here that seems to do what your asking, but you may need to have rooted the phone, or at least be comfotable with editing a few system bits and bobs.

Answer 2

The following was added as an edit to the question. It seems like it should be an answer.

1. Go to Setting - Wireless & Network - Wifi settings
2. Press Menu button, and select Advance
3. Check Use Static IP
4. Enter IP adress, Gateway, Netmask and DNS Server 1&2 of associated with your LAN networks.

Eg., for me, I use

• ip=192.168.1.100
• gateway=192.168.1.1
• DNS1=8.8.8.8
• DNS2=8.8.4.4
