Every time I entered my static IP settings they were not saved and the setting reverted back to dynamic without any of the information being saved. I have backed out of the menu and also closed the setting and neither way seem to keep the settings saved. Is there a way to save these settings or are the static IP settings broken?
iPod touch, iOS 4.2
Once again thanks for the reply,
Unfortunately nothing that I am willing to do has worked. Since I have a working connection with DHCP, I think I will just quit while it works. I have tried setting the static IP to a different IP than DHCP after resetting all settings and backed out with the wifi back tab and it still will not save the settings. At this point on the Ipod's end, all I have left is a factory reset which I do not plan on doing at this point.
Thanks again for the quick replies.

I just tried it on mine. Went do the connected network then tapped the circled i, tapped Static and entered a valid static IP address different than the DHCP address, and filled i the same subnet mask and router and DNS. I then tapped wifi to backup out. It then reconnected and I verified that Safari worked. The I went back to the network and tapped the circled i and the static adress was srtill listed.
You can try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Rest>Reset Network Settings. Yo will have to rejoin all wifi network and re-pair BT devices.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Thanks for the reply,
I do have a working connection, but it reverts back to DHCP and my Static IP settings no longer exist when I look back in my network settings.
After you enter the static IP do you then have an internet connection?
How do I save my manually entered Static IP setting on my Ipod touch?
