Ok, so my situation is that I go to a college where the wifi is only accessible by those who have their mac address entered into the system. Trouble is that they only allow laptops to do this and not pdas. So i would like to know if anyone has a way of letting me spoof the mac address of my laptop to the phone. Thanks. I've searched everywhere and can't find a thing. I tried some registry changes, but apparently they dont work..

Then where the mac is found address? in the driver? I have tried to look for the file dll that in the register you/he/she is quoted under the name of TIACXWLN.dll but I have not found him.
Doesn't a program that allows to change the mac address exist? on windows xp can be made both with the register and with various programs, under linux it is simple even more.
Possible that a program doesn't exist for windows mobile? A way there will be
i think u can under network adaptor settings in the network cards on wm5.
Why would you need to change it ?
unless ur upto somthing dodgy lol
in the settings of the network any voice doesn't exist for changing the mac address (as it was logical!)
i want to spoofing the mac of my lan
Hi! I have a question. Is there an application that gives you the possibility to change the mac adrress on wm6?? I'm using lg ks-20 and need to make changes in my mac adrress due to connect to my wi-fi internet in house...
For any help big thanks
Why would you need to change it to connect. I ask because it's hard/impossible to change the MAC. The MAC is hardcoded into the card. If you absolutely need to change the MAC addy you could try spoofing, but that's something I don't a lot about. Post your situation, and maybe we can help you out.

There are programs that change the mac adrress of wi-fi card. I need to do that because every mac adrress that connects to the server is saved. I meen that those cards that have the mac that is written in the server will connect but those that aren't in the database of the server will be rejected... I have a internet connection only form my pc internet card mac adrress. Now i want to chcange that adrress to be the same as in pc so i can connct to the internet via lg ks-20.
I hope that you understand what i am asking about...

According to what i have red, there is no such thing like changing mac adrress on wm6... Hope that someone will crack this mistery...
you need mac spoofing for connecting hacked wifi
ON WIN XP y ùou can override the mac with a registry key maybe the same is possible under wm6
my links were about just that
So can you tell me if it's possilble ?? & what's that spoofing stuff.... I don't understand english perfectly and would like to have some extra info. BTW I know what google is for...
Hello.
Is there a way to change the mac address of the wifi network interface of the titan?
I would like to be able to do that so I can use my titan's browser to authenticate to web portals, and then use my wifi voip phone (with the same mac address) to make calls.
Do you mean MAC address or IP address?
The MAC is a hardcoded address of the form xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, using hex. MAC addresses cannot be changed as each interface has a unique number. The MAC address can be spoofed to match another interface, this is usually an available feature on routers to spoof to the ISP that you are not sharing a connection on your home network.
The IP address can be changed and is of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx using only numbers. The WIFI interface on the titan will be set up for DHCP, ie it requests an address from the wireless source it is connected to. This can be changed to give the IP address required if DHCP is not availabe on the network selected.
I am talking about changing/spoofing the mac address if the network wifi card.
There are a bunch of utilities out there that are able to do so on the fly for windows XP, maybe someone has one for windows mobile?
Or a registry key location that does that?

Hi Drew,
I appreciate your reply, however, could you be a little more specific? reflash to rom meaning the Verizon Stock rom?

As far as I'm aware you cannot change a physical MAC address as it is hardwired into the network interface card, therefore, the only way you could change it is by swapping out the main board.
Why would you want to change it?
You can't change it it's embedded into the wireless hardware, why would you want to?
I found this program Macshift for XP http://devices.natetrue.com/macshift/.
Maybe someone can change it to work on wm.
but the same question exists...why do you want to change your MAC address?
the Mac address is a combination of the manufacturers code and the device serial number. The result being that no two devices anywhere in the world have the same Mac address....should this happen in real life..all sorts of problems can occur with web based communications.
this been asked since the first htc device with wifi was released search
networking forum for info
as far as i know nobody ever managed to do it
also it would be a problem as 2 devices with the same mac address (mac addresses being the only truly unique identifier for 2 network devices could mess up network traffic pretty much)
the other person whos ½ packets you may intercept and his yours giving you both network instablity may feel strongly against you chanting your mac address to the same as his
I'd still like to know why BenBen_ wants to change the MAC address?
Maybe he cracked the wep key of an access point which uses MAC filtering and then analyzed the packets to find out which MAC has access to the AP .. And now he wants to use that MAC.. ( I am just assuming )
I've been looking around the forums and google for a solution to this. From what I found, the solution that works for most people with the same problem as me ends up being chnaging the UA String to iPhone or Desktop, but that still doesnt seem to work for me.
Now my problem is that at my school, they set it up to where you have to log into a portal before you can access to the WiFi, but my phone never redirects to the portal. It used to on Windows mobile, but now running Android on NAND, it wont redirect. I've tried nearly every browser on the Android market, tried changing the UA String on all of them. And still nothing. I ended up going to the school's IT Dept, and they registered the Mac Address to my phone, but then told me that my phone was connecting to two different IPs. One being the school IP, the other an unknown IP.
I've looked in the WiFi settings and i cannot find this second IP they gave me. From the sound of it, thats my problem. Any idea on how to remove this second IP? Or if the IT dept. was wrong? If so, and other ideas on how I can connect to this portal?
PS: My phone connects to every other portal website i've gone to so far, except the schools.
hmm strange, normally your WIFI connection connects to only one network. You can find the IP address by calling *#4636#*#* then Wifi Information / Wi-fi Status. Now click Refresh and you'll see your connection info. You can even run a ping test

So looking around the forums again I ran into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965597
Not sure if I am reading that right, but the USB Port can have an IP? If thats possible, how can I disable it or change it?
You need update your ROM to one that support unique MAC address or search WIFI MAC to set the MAC address back to your real one. Old Android library on HD2 set the MAC address by using a file so all the phone has a same MAC address by default. You didn't have two IP address. There is someone else running a Android HD2 on the network. Two devices with the same MAC is the same device to the IT Dept. Only one of the device will be routed at any one time.

This sounds like it might work. I'm currently art school an unable to change roms. I'll do this when I get home and leave an update.

No need to change rom.
Use search function 'change MAC adress' or something like that.
I'm using a SD Android and needed to change it also, was just a change in startup.txt.
Maybe it is a little different in NAND? But it should be easier to search a little bit around as to re-flash.
(Most or maybe all Android builds have this problem)
If possible, use your WM MAC adress to avoid further problems.

I ended up changing my rom, and it fixed my problem. Used Hyperdroid GBX, also gave me a chance to install CWM.
But your fix might have worked as well.
His fix will only have worked for sd builds, not NAND. currently, many kernels for nand will give you a unique mac address, but there is no way to set it like there was on sd builds
