When you try to connect to internet with your Nokia 5800(or any other) phone you can receive NO GATEWAY REPLY error. Many people think that this NO GATEWAY REPLY ERROR is due to any kind of bug in their NOKIA 5800 (or any other)phone or any kind of wi-fi problem in nokia 5800 and they format their new brand phone, But let me tell you clearly that this error(NO GATEWAY REPLY) is not due to any kind of bug in nokia 5800. The primary reason can be that your router�s DHCP is not enabled so your Nokia 5800 is not able to fetch an ip dynamically. One of the solution of this problem could be that you enable the dhcp server. This could be done easily by changing your routers configuration. But let me give you a more easy and guaranteed solution of this problem that worked well with my Nokia 5800. The basic solution is to assign a static ip address to your phone and also dns server manually because entering static ip and dns server manually you donot need a dhcp to do it then . Here are some easy steps to solve NO GATEWAY REPLY ERROR . In this post am referring to Nokia 5800. Steps are:-

(1)Press menu button.

(2)Go to settings>connectivity>destinations.

(3)Select access point and add a new access point.

(4)Select yes when it says AUTOMATICALLY CHECK FOR AVAILABLE ACCESS POINTS

(5)Select a suitable WLAN network(whose wep key is known to you).

(6)Select no if it asks to CONFIGURE NOW.

(7)Enter the WEP key.

(8)Go to internet (in destinations) and select your WLAN network.

(9)Highlight the data bearer(WLAN) option and go to its advance settings.

(10)select ipv4 and enter the following values:-

(a)Phone ip:-in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 (or whatever static IP was assigned to you for Wi-Fi by your netwrok administrator)

(b)Subnet mask

(c)Default gateway this is your router�s address(mostly 192.168.1.1 or whatever was assigned to you )

(d)Dns address 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220(these are opendns servers you can also choose those provided by your isp)

(11)Now you can access your WLAN network easily(menu>settings>connectivity>wlan)

HOPE THESE STATIC IP ANS DNS SETTINGS WILL SOLVE YOUR NO GATEWAY REPLY ERROR IN NOKIA 5800
