How to find MAC address?? - Wing, P4350 General

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.

Mac address on Qtek9100

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.

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.

How can I find out the Mac address of my device ?

I am trying to hook up my i-mate with my home wireless connection...
but I couldn't find out the Mac Address of my i-mate
Any idea ??
thanks
You cant really without being connected to a network, its annoying.
Turn off MAC address filtering and connect.
Now on your device click STart>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan
on the Advanced tab you will see your devices MAC address.

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.

Hi can you use this appplication to also access the internet via the pc's internet connection e.g. if pc is on a landline and xperia connects via wifi to the pc I want the xperia to be able to use the internet as well ..
do u know?
use a vpn connection to connect to remote network then the plugin should work with this connection and find the computers from the vpn network.. hope you understand what i mean
i am using bulletproof ftp and resco explorer.. resco explorer got possibility to add ftp connections.. so you have just to add port forward to your firewall and to connect to ftp.. if using a single server where all files are stored on it is a very nice alternative to share all things via ftp because you can access it from anywhere.. you need a dyndns hostname or something similar too, but i guess i dont have to say this
i use logmein and the cab works fine for me, i fix customers pc's from the x1 and they pay me for doin it via paypal

i am feeling really stupid.
i installed the network plugin. then reset and connected to my wifi network at home.
now I try add new or browse and it keeps saying map drive failed or no computer was found in the network.
Could it be my wireless network settings?
I am able to connect to the net
the Ip address is inline with that of my pcs and all the PCs can see each other.
I do not have a domian or VPN setup
Please help.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried pinging my phone and it works, but if I try ping my Pc from my phone it doesnt work. I am using vxutil
I've been playing around and i noticed that I can ping my phone from my pc but i my phone cannot ping my pc ( doesnt find it). i am using vxutil
any firewall on the host pc? How do you try to connect? Through Hostname or with the ip,.. ? Never had such a problem but you can try to add the drives without browsing by just adding them with the path for example
//mynetworkpc(better you use the ip instead x.x.x.x)/sharedfolder
i think it should be a problem of your host pc i guess.. can you access it from other network computers? Try to ping it from another computer in your network, sounds like a firewall problem to me
Here is what I can do
1. Ping my computer and any other computer from any computer connected to both wired and wireless network
2. access the files on my computer from any other pc in the house
3. stream music to and from my pc to any pc in the house
4. ping my Phone from my pc
5. connect to the internet though the wireless network, using my phone.
What I cant do
1. ping my pc from my phone
2. connect to shared files on my pc from my phone
Let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or any settings to check or anything else I can do to get this working please
I found out some more info that might be useful
it has to do with IP addresses of the phone
Current IP
XPERIA
169.254.2.1
Adapters
NE20001 - NE2000 Compatible ethernet driver
IP Address : 0.0.0.0
TNETW12511 - IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wifi adapter
IP Address : 192.168.11.4

Default Gateway :192.168.11.2
Primary DNS : 192.168.11.2
DNCP Server : 192.168.11.2
Now my pc's IP address is 192.168.11.9
My routers IP address is 192.168.11.2
Should I be changing the Current IP address?

I use Resco File Explorer2008. It sees my Vista x64 pc on my wireless net without a problem. I can map and explore any shared drives on it.
I also use a app called Iper. It sees all my net devices and pings them without a problem either??

You have logmein working from the X1? if so, how did you get this to work. This would be really useful for me
Ok I have installed IPer
I have noticed again the IP address for RNDISFN1 is 169.244.x.x and the Ip address for my network is 192.168.xx.x. could this be the problem and if so how do I change this IP address ( the phone)
