Hi
I have an LG P500 and seem to be having some issues finding settings, or information on settings.
Will Android take a DHCP reservation address?
Can you change the name of the client hostname of the device?
Thanks

Should do. If you've set your reserved address range in the router, set a fixed ip on your phone matching a number in the range and connect. Reboot your phone and re-set your phone to DHCP. That's as I think it would work. No guarantees as I'm not a network monkey. :D
Reservation addresses are more commonly used for setting print servers, IIRC, so I'm curious as to why you need it unless you have a really complex network (with loads of potential conflicts. But, hey, whadda I know).
Don't have a clue about client hostname settings, sorry.
On another note, you still contributing to AI?

I've tried that and the phone always gets a general address, not the one I assigned it.
I have all my devices on reserved address and assign them quotas and bandwidth restrictions with Gargoyle, but the phone is the only device that doesn't want to play ball.
Contributing to AI? I suppose that is one way to put it. Yeah I still post there from time to time, although they don't like me there as I don't own an iPhone
ArtooDetoo: Sorry that the suggestion didn't pan out dude. If all else fails, I guess a fixed ip will at least give you a measure of control.
I've stopped posting at AI entirely. I received a slap on the wrist for a rather sarcastic response to a personal attack, and had the post deleted by MG who sent me a PM with an announcement that I had been a naughty lad and had earned some demerits. The veteran who attacked me, on the other hand, got no such rebuke. I politely responded to MG that I didn't care to contribute to a site where the mods played favourites and could they please remove me from their user database.
I assume they have done. Very rabid bunch over there. :D
Buy yourself a cheap 3Gs and you'll be in their good books.
