Trying to connect my wifes Samsung Chat 335 via wireless to our router. Both our laptops and my phone can connect to the router. My wifes phone has wireless, it can see the router and connect.
However, when you try to go onto the internet, it comes up with 'DNS failed'. I tried looking this up and seems a commen problem with Samsung phones, but no one has a real solution. One site suggest ticking static IP and entering in these details

But that didn't work:(
Any ideas?

If it gets an IP address from the router, you should leave it.
You should be able to manually set the DNS to the OpenDNS ones:
IP address:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.2200
