does anyone know how i can find out what the mac address of my cingular 8125 is? I need it to add to my mac filtering address on my router settings.
Turn on wifi. Then goto settings connections. Tap on the wifeless lan icon. Goto the advanced tab and there it will be. You have to have wifi on to view. Took me some time to figure this out myself.

Not sure why it's not working, but until yesterday (when I was still using Windows 2003SE on my XDA2S) my XDA2S made a network connection as soon as I put it on the cradle. When I used IE to access a website all was working fine.
Now when I try to do this with my just new flashed WM6 setup, I can not get it to work.
My router does give IP's out (with DHCP).
I've even tested it with a fixed IP (same range as rest of LAN) and gateway in the NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver (start > settings > Connections > Network Cards > "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver"), but also with no luck.
The main OS that I'm using is Vista, but I did not change a thing in this.
(firewall off)
Doing a sync of the PDA is no problem, and I can even see my other PC's on the LAN when I use Resco Explorer's > "My Network".
Wifi is also working fine.
When I ping the PDA from Vista by "Device name", I do get a reply back, but the IP shown is not one that should be in my LAN.
It's 169.254.2.1. My LAN is all in the 10.0.0.1 / 255 range.
Anyone here who might know what I'm doing wrong?
i got the same problem...on my wm5 i wass entering my network with wi-fi but im not very good knowing networks...so maby someone who can solf this can tell us..
regards
Same problem here!
This is no help to you but I have the same issue
On WM2003SE I only had the 192..168.0.x IP address, now on WM6 I get them both
This seems to cause conflict when I try and update RSS feeds whilst cradled, any ideas anyione
And yes I have read the Wiki to no avail ...

That will not work, see below.

That is correct.
With WM5/6 and ActiveSync, the BA is given a private IP in the 169.254.2.x range, and ActiveSync acts as a bridge between the rest of the network and the phone.
Your router will not hand out an IP to the phone when it's connected to the computer via USB. WiFi is a different situation, and would get an IP from your router assuming it associates with your wireless LAN.
Look under:
settings -> connections tab -> connections control panel -> advanced tab -> select networks button
Make sure that "programs that automatically connect to the internet" has a network selected that has the 'this network connects to the internet' box checked under proxy settings.
Thank you for your reply jdc,
Unfortunately this did not work for me.
I've got under the Connections > Advanced [Select Networks] the following:
- My ISP
- My Work Network
When I hit the My ISP [Edit] button I end up on the Modem settings, and I see only my GPRS connection.
The only two tabs available at the bottom are General and Modem
When I hit the My Work Network [Edit] button I end up in the Modem tab.
Nothing is in this. Other tab's that I see are General, VPN and Proxy Settings.
In the Proxy Settings I do see the "This network connects to the internet", and I'm able to select it.
Problem is that as soon as I hit OK to close "Settings" and go back to the settings again the "This network connects to the internet" is un-selected again.
I'm about to give up on this project.. Who needs internet anyway when the PDA is in the cradle..

Yes I get a "The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78" error.
Googling for 0x80072f78 does show a lot of info, but till now no fix for me.
I had the same error, and i fix it with change this registry:
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows CE Services
and change the AllowLSP dword to 0
Now, i'm using XP Pro, not Vista...

Are you talking about the registry of the PDA?
If so, I do not have AllowLSP in it!
This is what I have in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows CE Services.

Nop, registry on PC
But, as i said, XP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5

Understood, and in Vista AllowLSP can not be found anywhere in the registry (it must be an ActiveSync 4.5 setting).
To go back to XP for only this, is a no go for me..
Thank you for your help.
From this forum:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
it looks like the reg patch is working on vista home premium as well.
You can try it, and revert back (delete registry entry) if isn't working.
Looks like the patch is manually adding the "needed" AllowLSP.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Yes, and now with the new WM6 and the "skin" than I'm using it does look new again.
Only problem that I'm having now (not related to this topic) is that sometimes I can not get WiFi to go on.
It does turn on, but right away off again also :/
Whatever way I try to set it to on.. No luck.. And than all of a sudden it's fine again..
Old problem since WM5, switching wi-fi on is tricky sometime. Has also happen to me on WM2003SE; probably the wi-fi driver isn't the best part from BA.
Thanks!
DANDANA - I'd have your babies if only I didn't hate children, thanks for the tip, it works perfectly!
XdaIIs - the WIFI thing is known about and somewhere on the forum there is a workaround. Sorry, I've lost the link :-(
Thanks again, I'm a happy bunny now!
i have a MAC address lock on my wifi at home and i dont know where to find the MAC address for my 8525 so i can enter it in the router. anyone know?
.lau
Depends on the OS and ROM, but usually is under "Settings", "Connections", "Wireless LAN", "Advanced".
WiFi must be turned on to see it. It will be listed as just "MAC"
yep, surely that did it... thanks!
is there any way to know the mac address of the wireless card in the g1?
I have my wifi network open but only allow access to the mac addresses that I specify in the router and I would like to connect my g1 to my wifi. I have trying see al the settings on the g1 but I can't find the mac a.
thanks in advance.
Open settings. Scroll down to About Phone, open that. Open Status. Scroll down to "Wifi MAC Address". Hope that works.
it works Thanks!!!!!!
Can someone please post a step by step procedure for putting a static IP into
my Tab 500?
instructions for static IP relevant on my tab version, android 3.1 (4.010.11_COM_GEN2):
open up wifi networks and settings. Find your network you wish to connect to and long hold it. Select Modify Network. Select IP Settings drop down and change from DHCP to Static. Scroll down again and type in your own IP addressing schema for the IP address and Gateway. Don't forget to add a network prefix length, even if you simply type in the suggested 24. I recommend using your ISP's DNS servers unless you are trying to use DNS for filtering and protection (such as opendns).

Thanks for prompt reply. What does 'long hold" mean? My Tab does not ever get
an IP assigned to it by DHCP, so I want to try a static IP to get wi fi working.
I will try your procedure when I get home from work today and will post results.
You're welcome. By long hold, i simply mean to tap the setting and hold it for a moment rather than let go right away. I am sure there is an official term for that, it just escapes me at the moment.

Thanks again. I'll try a Factory Reset first. Then, if that doesn't work, I will try a static IP address.
Problem solved. Static IP not required.
I tried the Factory Reset from the settings menu. It took a few minutes to reset and reboot. A s soon as I went to the Wi-Fi settings, it found my router, got great signal strength, and was asked for my password. It then connected immediately.
I then went to settings, and looked for any updates. It found the latest update, so I downloaded and installed OS v3.1. It took about 1 hour to complete the download and installation. My tab works great now. I could not be more pleased with it.
Many thanks to all on this forum and elsewhere who contributed their suggestions and advice.
I turned on wifi but was unable to access / change my IP to a static IP . I couldnt find the option under wifi - advanced as well. The new options allow me only to change my Signal Band (2.4gz/5gz) but not change my IP address or put a static IP.
Any thoughts?
It's right there
Press and hold your connected access point
Check Show advanced options
Click IP settings and change from DHCP to Static
Enter your IP/DNS
thanks i also had a problem but now i can enter my ip but the save button is unfortunately greyed out so stuck up in getting ip address can anyone help
ps: figured it out now working
thanks
saving of static IP is now per network instead of per wifi interface.
still not able to assign static ip

Is this also the case with proxy server? I have an Asus Transformer on ICS that allows me to save Proxy per access point, and I'm hoping the GNote will also do this on ICS.

Just checked myself, glad to see this!
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope thats all clear.
I have had the same problem.
Wouldn't is be a better option to have your router reserve a specific IP address for the MAC address of your Note? That way you won't have to change the settings on your Note when you want to connect to a different network.

It would, but that's a bit too technical for most users, as it requires going into advanced settings of your router. Most people don't even know their routers IP address, let alone configure MAC-level access!
Also the default setting is for DHCP on all networks, so the user doesn't have to worry when connecting to any network.
In ICS, they have introduced the option of allowing different IP settings for each network. In previous android versions, you could only have 1 global setting that affected all networks.
I like to use a static IP on my home network, but every over network I connect to requires DHCP. So previously, I had to disable Static IP to access other networks (or use an app called Wifi static!).
It's no wonder I was confused 'Wifi static' was no longer working

did solve it? See post #9 if not
With the long press stuff --> modify network and add the static IP, it seems not work for me. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3.
Do u think the phone need to be rooted to gain superior access privilegde?
And my setup network @home is ad-hoc. So cant reserve any ip on a router.
Kind regards
Takeur

if by "not work" you mean that you can't see an option to change from DHCP to static, it may simply be because the on-screen keyboard automatically appears at that setup page (so you can enter a password) and it obscures the options further down the page.
So, you need to:
1. long press on your connection to go into "modify network config"
2. press capacitive "back" key (or click "done") to reveal the bottom of the page
3. check the "show advanced" tick box
4. scroll down beyond the visible part of the page to get to DHCP setting.

here's my solution on my note ICS
1. long press wifi connection, enter your network password
2. change dhcp to static
3. fill ip address of your device
4. FILL NETWORK PREFIX OF YOUR STATIC WIFI NETWORK (NETWORK PREFIX is substitution of NETMASK ADDRESS (eg 255.255.255.255) see table here ttp://gabbtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/subnet-mask-address-dan-persamaannya.html
5. fill other requirement (gateway,dns,etc)
6. You should be able to click greyed out SAVE button now
