Is there any way to change the MAC address of my Wifi connection on my Jamin (Prophet)? Perhaps a registry hack?
even on pc's a mac address cant be changed but on pc's you can change it temp
but never perm change it
not sure if any such tool is out for pda's or even if it's possible on pda's
really depend on the os
Thanks for your reply. It turns out I have no need to do this now as I have got round the problem.
Cheers.

Hi All,
Do I need to do anything special to use ActiveSync over a wireless connection ? The wireless connection is setup and working fine, I can ping from PPC to PC etc etc. I have configured the connection settings in ActiveSync to accept connections over ethernet. The network says available. I guess that I don't need to connect in ActiveSync on the PPC, just press Sync ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.
Anyone ?
I am having exactly this problem. Have tried adding the PC's IP address as the wins server - that didn't work and am now wondering if an hosts file is required??? I can connect to the PC through file manager using the name or the IP address so it really doesn't seem to make sense.

I am now absolutely sure that it is a resolution problem. I tried it on my work network which has local DNS and it worked straight away. I guess that the answer will lie in an hosts file although it's been a few years since I've worked with hosts so I'll let yo know if I have any joy.

May be this is what you people need. Hopefully it helps.

Thanks! It looks as if Microsoft give their devices default names that their own naming system refuses to recognise (Pocket_PC) - I guess that it is what we have come to expect of MS! I've renamed my device and will try again when I get home. Thanks again for the lead.

Hi does anyone out there know of a way i can find out the MAC addreses for the network card on the Qtek 9100 running windows mobile 2005. I need to know the wireless network card and also if the gprs connection has a mac address i need to know that as well.
Thanks in advance.
Barry
why do you need to know this?? :roll:
So i can allow mac addresses only through the firewall

is it like a wireless network your trying to access?
No what we have is a vpn laptop users use securid tags to connect to the vpn and get there email. when they cannot use there laptop to get there mail they use the qtek 9100 create a gprs connection connect to the vpn and get there mail. But they don't like having to use the tag on the pocket pc to connect to the vpn and want it to auto connect every hour and check messages. so if i knew the mac address i could allow them access through the firewall to connect to there mail.
ah right
a bit complex for me... i managed to find mine,.... but only via my wireless router... where i looked in the DHCP active IP table... it has mac addresses in there etc...
I'll see if i can find it on my phone now///
otherwise if you have a few users it might be a pain trying to identify them all eh lol
found it... i think!!
go to start>settings> connections tab>wirelesslan>advanced tab>
in there i found mac address that matches the mac address shown on my DHCP table...
i might be sending you off on a wild goose chase but thats as much as i can find sorry :roll:
Thanks for that but has any got any idea if the gprs connection uses the same mac address or a differnt mac address
GPRS is only virtual, and the radio module has no mac adress. You get only an IP.
But you need a MAC address for the IP to work don't you there must a mac address on the phone would it be the same as the wireless card.
hello
me and 2 people that i know have that problem
i think that the problem in the device
i hope that the problem namely software and not hardware
...please, tell us more, like:
¹ brand, type, rom, radio,
² is the connection problem with a desktop, router?
the device is htc tytn
the problem is the connection with the router
rom 1.18.255.3
radio 1.03.03.10
I have a problem between Htc TyTN and a router (Livebox Inventel) when the router is in WEP Configuration.
WAP is OK and No security is OK
But i don't know if the problem is the htc or the router
the problem is the HTC!!!
the problem is the HTC!!!

Are you sure ? :?:
sure
Hard reset and try to connect again.
Also make sure you don't have any MAC address policy restriction on the AP.
there is signal but it is not connected, even after HR

So your AP has a MAC address restriction, you will not be able to conect until you add the MAC address of your HTC device in the MAC address access control list of your AP.
hello pof and thanks about your answer
can you tell me what to do, but i need you to tell me slowly and clear
because that i am not understands the wors such "AP" & "mac" that listed.
thank's again

AP == Access Point, from what I see in your previous comments yours is a router (Livebox Inventel).
MAC == A unique identifier of every network device (similar to IMEI in phones), it consists of 6 hex octets, one example could be: 12:34:56:78:90:AB
So, what I say is that your Livevox Inventel has a "protection" so it only allows to connect known MACs, and the MAC address of your TyTN wifi card is "unknown" for your wifi router, you have to enter the administration console of the router and add the MAC address of your TyTN to the list, or remove the MAC protection.
Hope it is clear now
hello paf
ok i see that i have MAC address for WAN, LAN, WIRLESS
my router is DLINK 624+
how can i remove the MAC protection?
again thank you?
mordof
i see that DHCP is on Disabled
Static DHCP is used to allow DHCP server to assign same IP address to specific MAC address
and i still have MAC addres
so.....?
thank you my friend it is working

lol! you see... it was not TyTN, it was _your_ router :roll:
I need to discover the MAC address of the Herald's built in wifi device so I can use it for MAC address filtering on my router. My router (linksys W54G) doesn't detect what the Herald's MAC address is if I turn off filtering.
Anybody have any ideas?
BTW on my old IPAQ H4150 running Pocket PC, the asset viewer shows the MAC address but Windows Mobile 5 on the Herald doesn't show this information
i guess you can find it in wifisettings. start connection wifi....
good luck

Be sure to be connected to a wireless network. Otherwise you can't see you mac-address. Even when you need to insert your mac address in the router, you still can connect to the network. I have mac-address filtering too on my wireless network.
If you can't find that information on your device, you could always check what the router says what's connected to it.
I'm trying to do a similar thing but would like to know if there is an application to view a devices MAC address from a PC over Activesync? Oh and I can't view it from router logs as it's preconfigured to use with other access points and I do not want to reconfigure them. Thanks for any help.
Hi guys ..
How can i set a static ip in WP7 on HD2 ??
currently not possible
holy crap thanks for the reminder! as i kept thinking something was missing.
iphones (no matter how simple) could do it, and here I was thinking Microsoft is the king of networking....
Actually if you really want static IP, you can "push" to it. If you find out your wlan MAC address, use your router to assign only the IP which you select.
To find out your MAC address is simple: connect your phone to wifi, connect to router and see n the logs (even the dumiest routers keeps logs of what wifi cards are connected to it)
Just a small idea....
Rgs, Seba
Yeah my router thinks there are 5 mac addresses logged onto its wifi, but each time wp7 has reset its created a new mac.
