lumia 520 change network IP manually?

[searchit]

Hi
I just got my new lumia 520 and I cant seem to figure out how change lumia 520 ip and dns manually. The one it assigns automatically isnt correct. I need to change it manually to get it to work.

Its driving me crazy.
Please help me!

As far as I know, you can't.

what the hell?!

is this the problem with only lumia 520 or the entire wp8 devices?

I can only use wifi with manual IP range....

You can manually add networks from settings->Wifi-> Advanced Settings > +. Input the ip range,

If you have access to your router config. you could manually add the phone macaddress to it iptable.

thanks but it did not help me much. I just went and changed my router scheme and now its working, But now I have another problem which seems to be bigger than this one and I already created another thread about it...

As Corepc said, typically you would configure the WiFi router to assign an IP address to a specific MAC address rather than forcing the device to have a fixed IP address.
