The static IP address and DHCP for the

Perform any of the following actions:
• If a static IP address is configured, verify that the parameters such as the
subnet mask, default gateway IP address, and DNS IP address are
configured correctly.
• If the BlackBerry device uses DHCP, verify that the BlackBerry device can
obtain a valid IP configuration (for example, an IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway IP address, or DNS IP address).
• Verify that a wireless device, such as a laptop computer, can connect to the
network using DHCP and obtain an IP address.
• Verify in the DHCP logs, if they are available, that a DHCP was granted to the
BlackBerry device.
