:facepalm: Need a little help.
I gotta change the IP address on my Samsung tablet and I can't seem to figure out how to get there to do it. :mad:
 
Should be easy. Do you know the IP and subnet you want to use? What's wrong with DHCP?
 
I have a dedicated router that I run my digital console with my ipad and Samsung tablet with.

The ipad I can change while in static mode.
I just can't seem to find the properties of the wifi on the Samsung to change to the IP and Subnet that I want/need.
Subnet being the same as all of the others I'll change the IP to within a few numbers of the ipad and I them together to controle the console..

Dang this new newfangled Windows8 :cursing:
 
From the desktop, swipe from the right side of the screen and select settings from the menu... Should get you to Control Panel :)
 
You need to hire a Gen Y to do your tech for you henry... :D

... and make the sammiches...
 
yeah! Some sammiches would be nice right about now. ;)

OK so I get to the control panel I can find the IP and subnet but can't figure out how to change those setting.


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
I'm confused. Is your Samsung tablet a Windows 8 tablet?
 
See if this works...... Assuming the Wi-Fi network does show on your list of what's available. I just got a Samsung Tab 2 and this does seem to get to where I can access parameters, but didn't dig too deep for fear of mucking something up.


Instruction for Android 4.0+ (ICS / Ice Cream Sandwich)

1. Settings
2. WiFi (click on word "WiFi", not ON/OFF switch)
3. Press and hold preferred (or active) wireless network until dialog pops up
4. Select "Modify Network"
5. Check "Show advanced options" checkbox at the bottom
6. Switch "IP settings" to "Static"
7. Keep IP address, Gateway and Network prefix length the same (should be set from standard DHCP)
8. Set DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields as per table above.
9. "Save"
10. Restart your phone (power cycle).
11. Verify configuration on our "Check Service" page (We need your email address)

I HATE windows 8.

I'm confused. Is your Samsung tablet a Windows 8 tablet?

Yes. a tablet yet full windows8 computer.



So arcaxis that was for an android. It didn't work.
 
Having hastily read the title of this thread and given no regard to the contents, I can say this:
I've figured out that it sucks and I hate it. I don't own a computer that uses Windows 8 but I have a friend that does
and based on the few occasions I've used it, I'm baffled as to why Microsoft thought that OS was remotely appropriate for a PC.

A "Start Screen?" Yeah, I really want to lift up a veritable garage door of nonsense before I can see my desktop. I love it when things are more difficult.

Not that this is relevant, but I fully understand why Microsoft went this direction. With so much pressure from tablets and touch screen, this is the next evolution. If you look at Leap's new motion controller, you will be able to control (for this forum) faders and knows using motion rather than a mouse. Once you get away from the mouse, and get used to it, Windows 8 will be a positive direction.

Just for fun, for those of you who don't have a touchscreen, check this out Leap Motion I think this is a game changer for Win8 and the cost is about US$80.

I'm the first to bitch when changes in an OS make it unfamiliar to me, but I was just saying how I respect apple for making bolt hardware moves because someone has to do it ( RE- ditching traditional PCI-E and optical media).

Maybe, as DM60 says, this kind of thing will set the future for m$.

I can see it being a positive direction for Microsoft but I think it was poorly timed and/or executed. It was an OS designed for compliance with tablets and touch-screen devices that most people will only see on a desktop/laptop without those capabilities and in those instances, it hurts Microsoft more than it helps them because you get people saying things like, "Windows 8 sucks!"

I think it would have been a better move for them if they would have called it something like "Windows Touch" and released it exclusively on touch-compatible devices while maintaining steady updates for Windows 7 or offering a version of Windows 8 that was optimized for compatibility with plain-Jane PCs. That way, the average PC consumer wouldn't feel alienated. A major update could still be made to the OS to effect that change, if they saw fit (which I suspect they will after realizing their error in judgement).

P.S. I'm sorry for derailing your thread, moresound.

P.P.S. That Leap Motion thing is FREAGIN' SHWEET!

For the lone wolf recording, (maybe I am wrong), I could see sitting, getting ready to play and motion to hit record without having to go to the keyboard or mouse, push record, go back, sit down and start playing. Might be pretty cool. But I do think this makes the need to upgrade one's monitor to touchscreen no longer necessary (or less needed). Plus, you don't have all of those finger prints on your monitor.
