Mac Address ? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Howdy guys.
I cant get access to wireless internet in my house anymore since we secured the network by only allowing certain mac addresses.
Any idea how I can find the MAC address of the M600 ?
Cheers

(Switch on WiFi using the button on the side of the device. Then go to Settings - Wifi settings.
Go to "Advanced" and you'll see the MAC entry. It only shows up if the WiFi is on.)

it has to be connected to a network as well as on.

I'll give it a shot many thanks

Need help connecting WiFi

cld anyone plz help me in connecting xda exec to WiFi. I have Netgear : DG834G and the router configrations are shown in the picture
under > CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORKS
i can see the available network named NETGEAR ----- which is the name of my wireless router,but it keeps displaying connecting/available only.
if there is any step by step instructions in the forum plz give me the link
many thanks
Check you've got the following settings in "Configure Wireless Network" on your Exec:
General tab:
Network name: NETGEAR
Connects to: The Internet
Network key tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Network key: [whatever it is]
Also, make sure your WiFi network adaptor in your Exec is configured for static or dynamic IP, whatever your network router is set up for.

Don't forget to reset your access point. Sometimes a simple reset takes care of the connection problem.

Does it work on the HTC Universal?
Yes the software is written for PPC. And the screenshots are windows 2003.
It should work on HTC Universal. I'm testing the software now. (only 9 Euro's) It should create more overview when configuring the WiFi network.

Sorry guys
I tried the software but it doesn't support Qtek Universal.
The tool doesn't recognize the wifi adapter. Note that i did turn it on.
I hope they will support the Universal soon!

Hi WizzarD-me,
If you are looking for a WiFi scanner. Try WiFiFoFum, it works great on the Universal.
http://www.aspecto-software.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=311&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30
Refer to mine, I have the Netgear router using a jasjar.
I dont use the WPA-SPK, I use the 64bit WEP encryption, and have provided the settings on my router and on my JJ, hope they help.
If you need further help directly PM me and we can use messenger by my screen shots should be self explanatory.
If you dont mind, could you let me know when you have connected and retrieved so that I can make appropriate edits to this post.

Update
I was thinking. Since the option for connecting to the internet automaticaly does not indicate a WiFi connection... the PocketWinc program didn't find the WiFi cause i had my phone connection online.
After closing the program and turning of the phone connection and enabling the WiFi connection the program recognized the WiFi antenna.
Still experimenting with it at home. It has a Wifi Sniffer option in which you can set a WiFi sniffer interval. The program remembers the networks and you can set you favorites and even remember the settings on those.
The reason i set this program on this post was and still is for the overview of settings the program provides. You can sellect the network SSID and create a report of the IP configuration. There are several other interesting options like ping, trace route and more.
PS thanks for the link. I will check the WIFOFUM thingy
If anyone has the time could they help
I need someone to talk me through wifi..
I have xda exec but cant seem to get connected via access point..
I have installed the above software and wififofum. but nothing
Please help
router to have;
- ssid created, suggest a family name or similar, broadcast it
- dhcp enabled and auto control
- enable wep encryption (128 or 64 bit)
- use a shared key 9usually a choice of 4, pick one)
universal needs:
- wifi turned on!
_ start - settings - connections - network
- ypu should see it searching, cancel auto detects, do it manually
- in connections, add
- insert info above
* ssid
* choose wep encryption, shared, remove auto, enter the choosen key, txice
* slect and tell it which key number you chose (eg 1-4)
those are my settings to get it working initially
You can later if you want disable your dhcp, dns, wins n stuff
you may want to consider stopping broadcasting ssid later to prevent people looking for the network, but the wep key encryption should prevent all but the most enthusiastic genius from using the network.
this works on my netgear system.

i mate k-jam WIFI problem?

the WIFI state is connected. but when I try to open a webpage, eg,www.google.com, it shows error: the page cannot be found. Check the name and try again. anyone knows that? how can I fix it?
Thanks.
HELP ME
Someone can help me?!
Where are you using the wifi? Is it your home network or work/hotspot?
Go to settings then the connections tab then tap the "wireless lan" icon. Tell us what you see on that screen, then click the advanced tab and tell us what is there too. Finally click "menu" then "network cards" and tell us what is there (should be a list of available networks).
The only problem I have with my wireless is that i need to have a very strong signal to be able to receive my IP address via DHCP. Once it has it then it's OK and i can wander about but I get no address when the signal is weak ( less than 50%).
Cheers

Check that you have set the connection type to "internet" - I suspect this problem occurs because you have it set to "work".
Chris
I am having the same problem , my signal is nearly 100%, the phone is set to internet, Belkin 54g,, authentication is 'open', WEP, the key was entered manually (26 digits ), do i use 802.1 access ?
mode is infrastructure, tx rate is auto, channel 11,, the mac and ip address is correct,, what is enroll ?
I have tried everything and it is obviously connected so why will it not load pages ?
Had the same problem myself with my XDA IIs. Only solution I could find was to turn disable the firewall on my router. No idea why that worked, and cant find a way to turn the firewall on without causing the problem again, but it did work!
got smilar problem here, some times even when i connected and browsed web say 2 mins. ago suddenly connection can not be established i have tried it with belkin 54g linksys and 3com routers all same couldnt find any solution and accepted it as it is

hello All and Gadget
Bought the XDA mini S from 02 yesterday and havent really been playing with it except installing programs, removing the 02 files and finding my way round the phone.
Anyway, having problem with getting WIFI, can anyone help?
At home, I use Wanadoo broadbrand wireless 'livebox' and here are the following details on the Mini S:
Wireless Lan> main tab> SSID - blank, mode - infrastruture, BSSID -blank, Tx rate - auto, channel - 0
Advanced tab > status, not connected to network, MAC - 00-09-2D-8D-66-BF, IP - 0.0.0.0
network cards tab> wireless tab - wanadoo - 2D9E available
network adaptors> network card connects to 'The internet'
Thanks in advance
Andy
Might be a stupid question but.....
Have you got any security on your wireless router? if so have you permitted the MAC code of your device to connect and obtain an IP address from your router?
Anthony.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Another stupid question is how do I find out if I have security on my wireless router and if i have security, how can i permit the mac code to do its stuff.
Thanks again.
Andy
Check out:
http://help.wanadoo.co.uk/resultDis...Configuration+Manager&resultType=5002#Goto155
Have you set up a WEP security key to prevent unauthorised access to your ADSL Connection? if not then you should; I think the 'LiveBox' has a default key which you have to enter to connect and obtain an IP address.
Not being familiar with this router, I cannot tell you exactly but I would expect you to have to permit a new MAC code under the 'associated devices' menu.
Sorry for being Vague.
Hope this helps. :roll:

First of all, thanks for the link. I am able to see all the details (technical) of my livebox on the wanadoo configuration page.
There is a WEP key set and having tried to enter as much info on the relevant places on the mini s, no luck.
The mini s does recognise the 'livebox' and connects to it then drops off. However, it doesnt pick up any info from the 'box' to complete the relevant wireless tabs on the mini s.
Dont know how I'm going to resolve this but thanks for your help so far.
Shame not to utilise the Mini S with my current wireless broadband connnection.
Cheers
Andy
Hi All
Thanks for the advice so far and after so many attempts I am still unable to configure the mini s to use the wireless connection at home.
Need a huge favour. Would anyone give up a few minutes of their time to go through the configuration on the phone with me.
Please PM me your contact number and when it is convienent for me to call you back.
Much appreciated.
Andy
Hi Andy,
the settings depend to some extent on whether you have an access point (router) or shared connection.
You need to know the network name SSID, (and whether it's hidden)
WEP, WPA/PSK key,
Whether (as previously stated) you have MAC address control enabled in your router
Whether you have DHCP enabled (for automatic IP address from router)
Whether you need to log on (enroll) to password protected shares.
In the mini-S wifi>Menu>Network Cards>Network Adapters tab you should set your network card to connect to The Internet and check that the adapter (SDIO WLAN etc.) is set to use auto IP (if you have DHCP) or pick your own IP address if you have a fixed range.
If you have Zone Alarm or another firewall (I surely hope so :wink make sure that the (mini-S) IP address is in the trusted zone
Lastly; if you seem to be connected but you can't get any web pages - just a page not found error, try killing bloody ActiveSync on the mini-S, sometimes when I'm browsing I suddenly can't access pages and that's what the problem turns out to be - when you stop active sync running in the background it all starts to work again.
This is assuming you have a router not a shared connection which may be slightly different.
Oh....and read the threads about 802.11b and g, if your router only allows 11g the mini-S doesn't connect (I'd find the threads and point you to them but I gotta get back to work soz)
HTH (feel free to contradict or put me straight guys

I had the same problem with my Linksys WRT54G before. I upgraded the firmware (dowloaded from Linksys website) of my WRT54G and the problem solved.
New to the board (Just got my Cingular 8125) Having the same problem.
I get an IP addressfrom my router, it shows I am connected on my network settings, but still can't pull up any pages. It has never worked since I got it (only 3 days though) Someone please help us.
If >Connection Manager>Settings>WiFi Settings shows you have an IP address and are connected (Advanced :Status) then check your firewall settings and try stopping ActiveSync, always seems to do the trick for me
Also check out this post, could this be your problem?

I have shut down my zone alarm and don't have firewall enabled on my linksys WRV54G. ActivesSync is also closed. Still no luck
I will try to update my ROM it is not far fetched that cingular Jerry rigged the WiFi. I hope ther is a class action suit coming soon.

Difficulty location Wi-Fi MAC address on AT&T 8525

The Wireless Access points at work use MAC filtering. I am having trouble locating the wireless MAC address on the 8525's. Windows Mobile 5. I did a search on the web but the places posted did not contain the information I was looking for. Any help would be great. P.S. Turning off MAC filtering at work is not an option. I tried this at home and it connects fine. Thanks in advance

Open the comm manager and from SETTINGS, select WIRELESS LAN, from there simply select the ADVANCED tab and the MAC should be visible...
Still no luck
Thanks for the reply but that doesn't do it for me. When I go there the Status reads "Connected to network" the MAC is blank and the IP is blank. I tested and I am connected wifi and can access the internet (without medianet connected.) I checked a coworkers 8525 and his read exactally like mine when connected to the wireless network. Is there another way to see the MAC address? I looked in the wireless access point as I know some show connected devices but the Belkin units we have here do not.

There was a command prompt utility somewhere that you could use to determine your ip/mac addresses... Sorry, but I can't remember where it was or the name... I lost it during my frequent flashes...
The MAC field will be blank when the WLAN is turned off. Once you turn it on, the MAC will appear before you connect to the network. Whatever access point you use won't be able to disable this behavior.
Your statements suggest that once you connect at work, these fields are blanked out. However, you also note that you are able to connect at home just fine. See what the MAC address says when you're at home or look at what your home router reports. Your MAC address isn't ever going to change.

Connecting to router with hidden ssid

I can't be the only SGS user who has a router with a non-broadcasting ssid, so how did you guys get it to connect? I looked up the problem with google and it's a known android problem. There doesn't seem to be a general fix for it.
My ssid is hidden and I have no problems connecting to my wifi at home.
Have an hidden essid too, and no problemes connecting to it
Really? Must be my router then, okay. Thanks for the replies.
Make sure you typing in the ssid exactly as it is in the router remembering that it's case sensitive, also remember to select your security type correctly as well. Also make sure you're not filtering the mac addresses of the devices you allow on your network..

Everything was correct. It connected just fine with the ssid visible, but as soon as I made it invisible, it would no longer connect.
I have the same problem...
My FW is JH1 (Hong Kong)
Please help...
Also had that problem in the beginning..but went away when flashed JG5.. (Current fw JM5 also ok) ..read that there is also an app on market that can be used..look for ssid enabler or hidden ssid..or something like that
You shouldn't have a problem connecting to a hidden network but you have to manually connect everytime. Android does not have a "connect even when not broadcasting" option, so your phone will not automatically connect to your network when in range. Every time you want to connect you have to enter in the connection details.
Try the app called Hidden SSID Enabler. It worked for some others:

Are you sure about the setting in your router? Like Intratech wrote about the MAC filter? If you make it invisble and it dont make connect with the router I guess you havent given the router your PHONE wifi MAC address, if you have the mac adresses activated you must do that.
i had this problem too,
i entered in the correct ssid ID and password but it would get stuck on attempting to connect. If I enabling SSID broadcasting then i can connect using the identical setup.
I also have this issue. Running jg1 on bell.

I cannot connect to hidden ssid.

Wpa/wpa2
Mac filter off
If i try to connect while its hidden it just says "network remembered, not in range." If I then just un hide the network it connects fine right away.
Help, I really like this phone but there is also a very good reason for having my network hidden. Any one have any success after rooting the phone or something like that. Also hidden ssid enabler app does nothing when I hit the enable hidden ssid button. Thanks

I don't use Mac filtering, so that's not it. I think Mac filtering is over-kill in a home environment. If someone is really determined to break into your network, Mac filtering is not going to stop them. The same is true for hidden ssid, but at least that's not as annoying to set up and use.
Turn off WPS and Push button
I had simular problems letting Router configure Network using WPS and WPS Push button.
After you've aadded the network manually, under manage networks, modify network, hit menu, then hit advanced, uncheck push and WPS
No problems after that.
Something to try.
Did people here try hidden SSID enabler app yet?

Wifi Works At Outside Wifi Hotspots but stopped working at home wifi... Please Help..

My HTC Desire HD Wifi has ALWAYS been working at my home wifi network.
Over the last few weeks, it has stopped working for no apparent reason. My pc as well as 3 other laptops work perfectly fine...
When I try to connect to my own wifi network at home now, it REFUSES to obtain an ip address and simply keeps disconnecting...
It however works fine elsewhere....
Anyway I can fix this problem or a simple way to manually connect to my home wifi network?
Thanks in advance...
hi
Have you checked that your security settings are the same on the router? also try and reset the router i.e. unplug for 2 mins blah blah. I know the lappys are working fine but this is what I would do.
I use to have issues like this with my HTC Hero, how i resolved it was by adding the phones MAC Code to the router software. Found in ( Security>Mac Filter ) depends on router! but is something like that. The down side is thou, you will have to add the mac codes from all your other devices to the router also, so everything connects to your ISP. It has the benifts of a more secure network.
Hmm, thanks for the possible answers so far.
It is strange. I just went to a friends house who also has wifi, I connected as normal.
It immediately connected with full reception. It seems that EVERYTHING connects and works as normal accept for my own home wifi...
I have tried resetting it, turning it on/off, it still does not want to obtain an ip address...
what is your make is your router?

It's Siemens Gigaset SE568
I would advise you against using MAC security on your router. Instead try to "forget" your home network (Settings->Wireless&networks->WiFi settings, then hold your home network and "Forget network") and then re-add your network. If this doesn't work try assigning static IP address (Settings->Wireless&networks->WiFi settings then tap "Menu" and "Advanced" but this will make connecting to hotspots more difficult (you'll have to uncheck the static address every time you need to connect).

Did you try to asign a static IP address (don't forget to test if you are connected to the internet after/if this seems to work)? Then you'll know if the problem is with the DHCP service or something else.
Ok. Sorry, I miss understood your problem! First is the router assigning ip address via dhcp as you don't state?. So the static ip method, You can try, Im here to help not say what to do and not to try..But as your pc and laptops are working I don't think the problem with dhcp.
A very quick test is to set your router to a open network and try to connect. Does this now work when you try to connect? We will work backwards to solve your problem. Also are you using a wizard cd software from the router? Or connecting to the router software via the internet explorer?
e.g 192.168.0.1 ? etc.

Just tried the static ip address, still refuses to obtain an ip address...
As for the router, it's automatic, we simply turn on wi-fi on the computer/laptop, click the wifi network, put password and simply connect as normal....
Strangely my HTC Desire HD refuses to obtain an ip.
A few days ago I went to my brothers friends house for the first time, turned on wi-fi on my phone, went onto his network, put the password and it immediately connected without any problem...
I'm 100% sure the problem lies with my old piece of **** router, well it's not mine but my fathers and I cannot exactly tell him to throw it out the window it's complete ****...
What can I do simply to make the router work with my phone?
Is there any new device in the network? If there is turn off all wifi devices restart the ap and try to reconnect.
Try changing the ap name too.
Hope it helps!

Last resort might be to factory reset the router, then putting all the settings (e.g. WPA keys) back on.

The simplest way is to set your router to a open network. Then no key is needed by the phone. The phone SHOULD connect with no problems.
You then no its a key issue.
